Air Alert for Windows 3.1 and 9x

One day I had an idea of making an alert app for Windows 3.1. I have managed to create a design for it, but it needs more attention than the 9x version, on which I have moved later.

The original app for Windows 3.1 (on the right) made with Delphi 1. It was always private because I couldn't make it work "yet". The newer app for Windows 9x was made with Deplhi 6 (on the image to the left) and was in fact quite functional. Its size is about 750 kBytes. The MS-DOS variant (same image on the left) was casually made around that same time and it was a huge surprise that I could make it! Written on C, compiled with Borland C suite, yes - I made the code while using DOS.

The app was being bug-tested due to the worst code you could ever imagine, however at end of 2025 year I have rewritten it and made it work with genuine API, however due to security concerns and internal design implication it causes I can't publish the updated version as of now. Also, at the same time I've made a Linux port based on MS-DOS code, and even improved it, so possibly the latter one might get an update soon too!

Note: Do not expose your old machine to the internet. This includes: MS-DOS, Windows 3.1, 95, 98, 2000, XP, Vista, 7, 8, 8.1 and anything in between them. Windows 10 and 11 are still up-to-date - they are fine. Do NOT rely on this app as a reliable source of information. App may break at any time and I can decide to not to repair it.

Localized Chatty to Ukrainian

Back when I was on Twitch, I used a chat-client "Chatty" due to convenience & BTTV, FFZ and 7TV support. Last one was pretty new and was not available on other clients.

And turns out their localization project was so easy to join than even I succeeded to do it and did all my job during the first 24 hours.

I've lost access since then but you can still see my translations! Or even add yours: visit their website and/or Discord server.

Note: While I did localize about 96-98% of the UI, some technical strings were unable to be translated and there are possibly new lines which were added later.

Some unfinished old project 0_0

That is one of the earliest attempts in programming a (not-so) well-thought project, this one's on C# and it looks like classic 2-D network games, however it was never finished or even progressed much. Or maybe one day it will be...

It also had few revival attempts under Unity engine and ... Delphi (Pascal)? Looks like there was even earlier 2021 version...
