I have a website in 🇺🇸 English with various links: lumaa.fr
I am Lumaa, just a young independent French developer making random things. I also do YouTube videos and Twitch streams both in French, for fun. But I also have a YouTube channel made for professinal stuff.

It all starts a few years back, trying to make a Unity game (C#) but miserably failed multiple times.
Then in April 2021, began Keymey as my first JavaScript project and Discord bot. I worked on it for a very long time, then did multiple other bots, like Guildable, Bongy and a few others.
Then around mid-2021, I started web development. As my first web project, I tried recreating Discord as much as I could and called it Poorcored (because it's a poor version). I did web dev without actually having a website. I, then, made my own website back in July 2022.
Also in that same period of time, in July 2022. I created The Backrooms Mod, a Fabric Minecraft mod that adds the world of the Backrooms in Minecraft. A few months later, I published it on GitHub and Modrinth, and specifically on Modrinth, it blew. The mod's stats are sky-rocketing on Modrinth!
After all of this, I made a library mod LibuLib which is now discontinued.
Then around February 2023, I discovered the world of Vue.JS. It's complex but I'm still a beginner to this.
Through February to April, there were updates of The Backrooms Mod and LibuLib. During April 2023, a few new projects appeared on my Modrinth Profile which are:
- Act - Mod to fight loneliness, powered by Actor AI
- Muppet - Mod that adds the player's doll at the top left corner
During the month of May 2023, I posted a devlog on my Support Discord where I asked my members if they volunteered to help me code mods, Tanish DMed me and volunteered to help me, we then created V-Fast.
He worked on Act the most, including the entire rewriting of Actor AI.
And for most of the summer holiday (July-August 2023) I learnt how to do APIs and SQL manipulations using Express.js. Which I now have an API over on api.lumaa.fr.
There hasn't been any big coding projects through September 2023, so nothing interesting.
But in October 2023, I released my very first iOS App: TicTac. The app is currently available EVERYWHERE, in French and English. Here is a quick showcase video:
November 2023, I listened to music... A ton... Which resulted in the creation in ByHeart. An app all about music and its knowledge.
Kept this project under my wing, and to create a Mastodon client... which I announced a little before New Year's, called #Threaded (Now called Bubble). It uses code from IceCubesApp made by @Dimillian.
In March 2024, I create my read.cv, with a lot of details about my past projects and current.
The following month, I published NumMemory on the App Store. It's an app about remembering any number you choose, it could be a credit card number, a pin code, a phone number... Anything!
In May 2024, I launched my newsletter powered by Substack. This allowed me to announce in depth my new project: Artisticly, which is a music client powered by its own server. I'm also currently working on a Super Secret Project™ with a team of developers...
The Threaded app (Now called Bubble) released on July 10th, 2024 on the iOS App Store, as well as the 1.1.0 update later in July...
On August 25th, 2024, me and PatateGivrée released a stable version for The Backrooms Mod thanks to Bob Mazza dropping all of the pictures of original Backrooms place, which a HobbyTown owned by the same person.
Due to legal reasons, Threaded had to change its name to something else (Source), now being Bubble! This allowed Bubble to get its own visual style, and also allowed Bubble to get a full collaboration with sub.club!
After a quick poll on Mastodon, I started the WidgAround app, a direct competitor to Widgetsmith!
In between, in November and December 2024, Bluesky started getting more traction due to the Twitter blocking policies changing, so I planned a new project, a new Bluesky client. While also working on the biggest Bubble update, v1.4.0, that fixed a lot of bugs, media control, quote posts, and so much more. I made big changes to Cider Remote as well as its website to display content I added.
I also worked on other private projects with deep functionnalities like using the Vision framework, or like the Core Motion framework.
Bubble+ finally released with v1.4.1 on December, 11th 2024. It currently has 3 subscriptions, monthly, 3 months, and a yearly option. All of the prices can be found here in USD.
And here we are today.
A few weeks left before 2025.
