Lumaa

A new direction.

I have a website in 🇺🇸 English with various informations: lumaa.fr

I am Lumaa, just a young independent French developer making random things. I also do YouTube videos and Twitch streams both in French, for fun. But I also have a YouTube channel made for professinal stuff.

It all starts a few years back, trying to make a Unity game (C#) but miserably failed multiple times.
Then in April 2021, began Keymey as my first JavaScript project and Discord bot. I worked on it for a very long time, then did multiple other bots, like Guildable, Bongy and a few others.

Then around mid-2021, I started web development. As my first web project, I tried recreating Discord as much as I could and called it Poorcored (because it's a poor version). I did web dev without actually having a website. I, then, made my own website back in July 2022.

Also in that same period of time, in July 2022. I created The Backrooms Mod, a Fabric Minecraft mod that adds the world of the Backrooms in Minecraft. A few months later, I published it on GitHub and Modrinth, and specifically on Modrinth, it blew. The mod's stats are sky-rocketing on Modrinth!
After all of this, I made a library mod LibuLib which is now discontinued.

Then around February 2023, I discovered the world of Vue.JS. It's complex but I'm still a beginner to this.

Through February to April, there were updates of The Backrooms Mod and LibuLib. During April 2023, a few new projects appeared on my Modrinth Profile which are:

• Act - Mod to fight loneliness, powered by Actor AI
• Muppet - Mod that adds the player's doll at the top left corner

During the month of May 2023, I posted a devlog on my Support Discord where I asked my members if they volunteered to help me code mods, Tanish DMed me and volunteered to help me, we then created V-Fast.
He worked on Act the most, including the entire rewriting of Actor AI.

And for most of the summer holiday (July-August 2023) I learnt how to do APIs and SQL manipulations using Express.js. Which I now have an API over on api.lumaa.fr.

There hasn't been any big coding projects through September 2023, so nothing interesting.
But in October 2023, I released my very first iOS App: TicTac. The app is currently available EVERYWHERE, in French and English. Here is a quick showcase video:

November 2023, I listened to music... A ton... Which resulted in the creation in ByHeart. An app all about music and its knowledge.

Kept this project under my wing, and to create a Mastodon client... which I announced a little before New Year's, called #Threaded (The hashtag is not included). It uses code from IceCubesApp made by @Dimillian.

In March 2024, I create my read.cv, with a lot of details about my past projects and current.

The following month, I published NumMemory on the App Store. It's an app about remembering any number you choose, it could be a credit card number, a pin code, a phone number... Anything!

In May 2024, I launched my newsletter powered by Substack. This allowed me to announce in depth my new project: Artisticly, which is a music client powered by its own server. I'm also currently working on a Super Secret Project™ with a team of developers...

And here we are today.
