Keymashed: motivating your internet by mashing your keyboard

Since making the internet faster is a hard research problem, keymashed instead worsens the internet and then eases up proportional to how fast you mash the keyboard. It features:

  • an overengineered network protocol
  • a from-scratch video codec based on JPEG
  • humor

The project README on GitHub contains all the detail - all some 2000 words of it.



I'm looking for Summer 2025 internships. Feel free to write to me to point out an error, suggest a topic, or just say hi!
