hello, internet
Halo internet. This is the first post from my little corner at thio.cc.cd. Online, most people know me as Flessan, or Fless, Flethio, and Thio2009_ depending on where we crossed paths first.
If you found me through GitHub, GDIPS, or one of my other sites, this is where more of those threads come together. Not because everything has to live inside one giant website, but because it helps to have a home base.
Who's writing this?
My full name is Muhammad Thio Saputra. I'm a self-taught developer and an RPL (Software Engineering) student at SMKN 4 Banjarmasin, South Kalimantan, Indonesia. I'm into Geometry Dash, community projects, web apps, Linux tooling, and the kind of experiments that start with “can I make this work?” before turning into another repository.
A lot of learning happens while I'm building something for an actual use case. Some projects become tools people can use; others stay experiments that teach me what I didn't understand at the beginning. Both count.
What you'll find here
- Projects and build notes: decisions, trade-offs, things that worked, and things that still need work.
- Personal writing: the story behind a project, a community, or a weird little corner of the internet.
- What I'm doing now: the /now page and timeline collect the moving pieces.
- The wider ecosystem: the ecosystem page links to the other sites and tools I maintain.
The blog may switch between English and Indonesian depending on the topic and the mood. Technical details should stay precise either way. No need to make a story sound like a corporate launch just because it involves code.
Why another website?
Because building websites is one of the ways I learn. My first site was made at 15 using ZArchiver and Chrome on a phone. Since then, there's been flessan.pages.dev, flessan.github.io, projects such as GDIPS, and tools including teksreceh.
This domain is built with VitePress and gives the writing, projects, and personal pages a more consistent home. The older sites can stay online and keep doing their jobs; they don't have to be deleted just because a new one exists. This is a website, not an eviction notice.
Say hello
You can reach me at tio@cc.cc, find me on GitHub, Instagram, or Threads, or join the GDIPS Discord.
Glad you found your way here. There's probably another project in progress somewhere.
