introduction

You find an old terminal that lets you break down your favorite integer. That's a concise summary of INTDEC. It’s more of a fun little tool, not particularly practical or useful ^^

what it does

The main feature is breaking down your favorite integer and giving you detailed info about it. Want to know the divisors? Try divisors <number>. Curious if it’s a palindrome? Run ispalindrome <number>. Want to know everything the terminal has to offer? Use summary <number>!

what working on it was like

This project started small, just a few math functions, but every time I sat down to work on it, I came up with more ideas. It ended up taking longer than expected, but adding each new UI feature felt genuinely satisfying. Even though I didn’t set strict goals up front, the process was fun and chaotic in a good way.

Next time, I want to work on having a clearer sense of direction from the start.

what still needs work

Right now, the app is completely silent. I think adding immersive boot-up sounds, keyboard clicks, or ambient noise would make it way more engaging.

There’s also no mobile layout, and the virtual keyboard doesn’t sync with real keyboard input (yet).

what’s next

INTDEC is in its “v1” state now - functional, but not done.

I’m planning to revisit it soon and do a round of cleanup and polish based on how people interact with it.

Thanks for reading. I know this isn’t a practical tool, but it was genuinely fun to build.

Hopefully someone out there enjoys messing around with it as much as I did while making it.
