I'm Lucca, creator of Yazelix Nova. I build the tools I want to use every day, with Rust and coding agents.
Take a look aroundYazelix Nova with a Yazi sidebar, Rust code in Helix, and a shell pane.
A terminal workspace that brings Helix, Yazi, shells, and coding agents together. Project tabs, persistent popups, and a shared keyboard workflow, packaged with Nix.
From my workbench
starcompass validate
valid: 21 protocols, 5 profilesVersioned rules. Self-contained instructions.
Shared, versioned rules for coding agents. A Rust CLI assembles self-contained AGENTS.md files and checks for drift, keeping project instructions consistent without fetching rules from the network.
A reusable Rust toolkit for terminal configuration editors, built with Ratatui. Provides searchable settings, typed controls, and comment-preserving TOML edits and migrations.
Colorful Boids moving through an Anima terminal animation inside Nova.
Standalone terminal animations in Rust: Boids, Mandelbrot fractals, Matrix rain, and Game of Life. Available as the yzs command or a library, with no Yazelix installation required.
A Rust library and CLI for repeatable recordings of real terminal applications. Manages an isolated display, application processes, FFmpeg capture, and media exports, with reproducible Nix recipes.
Unsupervised species-level segmentation using DINOv3 Vision Transformers for biodiversity estimation. Achieved 52% of supervised performance with zero labels. Final undergraduate thesis at UnB.
Notes from building
A tour of Nova v1: project tabs, Helix, Yazi, shells, and persistent popup tools in the workspace I build and use every day. Includes a 63-second demo.
Work with me
I'm interested in remote backend and developer-tooling roles and contracts. I bring open source maintenance, data engineering, and experience shipping software people use.
