DatumHue is a creative workstation where you build your own experience by combining Lua apps. It runs natively and in the browser.
You can try a live instance in your browser at https://datumhue.app
The live instance has a desktop-like shell and a Steam-like store where users can publish free or paid creations, so far it contains the horror game Vigil.
A while ago I came across Lexaloffle's Picotron fantasy workstation and loved the concept of a hackable workstation composed of small script apps.
I wanted the same for non-fantasy work, which for me meant:
- No artificial limitations
- The shell is an ordinary app you create
- Your own preferred editor
- Charts and SQL over data files
- The same apps run in the browser and on the desktop
It's built on Bevy (game engine), Piccolo (Lua VM), Apache DataFusion (queries) and Iroh (connectivity).
DatumHue is closed source, the browser version is free and the desktop version has a free trial at https://datumhue.com
The Lua API is documented at https://datumhue.dev
Feedback is appreciated and I'd especially like to know what you would build with it :-)
