--- title: Digital garden canonical: "https://d9d.dev/" updatedDate: "2026-11-01T00:00:00.000Z" description: "A manifesto. Code as a living environment, clarity over complexity, and a site built as a garden rather than a portfolio." --- I grow digital ecosystems. I'm Danil. Full-stack engineer by trade, though builder is closer to what the work actually is. Code is not syntax. It is an environment things live in, and it decays or thrives depending on how it was planted. A high-load e-commerce platform and a meditative browser game are the same problem wearing different clothes: make a system that stays alive without constant rescue. My toolkit is deliberately wide — I don't chase tools or frameworks. I pick whatever makes the problem smaller. Clarity over complexity. In code, in business, in life. This site is my garden. Polished commercial work grows next to unfinished experiments and things I abandoned on purpose. Nothing here pretends to be finished. Explore it, play with it, break it. Let's build something real. ## Recent growth - [A pumpkin](/stream/2026-11-01-pumpkin/): A six-second loop of a pumpkin, 512 by 512, no sound. It plays by itself and starts over. - [Bones — a precise offline music player](/projects/bones-player/): An offline hi-fi player for Android that shows what the audio path really does and learns what you actually listen to. - [Mix Timestamper](/lab/mix-timestamper/): Paste a DJ mix tracklist and the mix length, get the tracklist with timestamps in seconds. Also a Telegram bot. - [Knight and skeletons](/lab/bones-quest/): A tiny voiced learning RPG for a three-year-old. Six chapters, no way to lose, and a game that never asks you to keep playing.
