What is maaslalani.com?
Updated
maaslalani.com is the personal website of Maas Lalani, a software developer based in Seattle, WA. It is a portfolio-style site rather than a product or service: it presents his projects, resume, blog, and contact links, and it reflects his stated interest in open-source software and command-line interfaces. If you want to see what he has built, read his writing, or get in touch, this site is the entry point.
What you'll find on the site
The homepage is organized around a short introduction and a project list. The visible sections include:
- Terminal — a heading that groups his command-line tools
- Projects — the broader list of things he has built
- About Me, Resume, Blog, and Contact — navigation to background and writing
- Contact details — email ([email protected]), Twitter, and GitHub
The command-line tools
A large share of the listed work is terminal software. These are the projects grouped under the Terminal heading:
| Project | What it does |
|---|---|
| Sheets | Spreadsheets in your terminal |
| Slides | Presentations in your terminal |
| Gambit | Play chess in your terminal |
| Draw | Draw in your terminal |
| Confetty | Confetti in your TTY |
| Nap | Code snippets in your terminal |
| Invoice | Invoices in your terminal |
| Twttr | Browse Twitter in your terminal |
The pattern is consistent: everyday tasks — spreadsheets, slides, chess, drawing, snippets, invoices, even social browsing — rebuilt to run inside a terminal.
Other projects
Beyond the terminal tools, the site lists projects in a few other areas:
- Augmented reality — Size Link, which visualizes dimensions in AR
- Products — Project Folded (send origami to loved ones), Just Focus (block distracting websites), Remove Vanity Metrics (hide Twitter metrics), Founder Rewind (old interviews with founders), Mafia List (startups from X-company employees), and Offset List (carbon offsetting companies)
- Accessibility and testing — Hawkeye Testing (learn where people look in your apps) and Hawkeye Access (use your iPhone with only your eyes)
Work history and patents
The site also lists employment and intellectual property:
- Work — GitHub, Apple, Charm, Locket Camera, Shopify, Hawkeye, and Lending Loop
- Patents — two applications listed, with one published
