My entry for the contest is a contest! A working community writing contest for developers — landing page, submissions, public voting, private admin moderation, and a winners reveal — all running on a single Zo space. No Typeform, no Notion, no separate database. Just Zo pages + Zo API routes in one workspace. acolombiadev.zo.space/contest
#ZoComputerChallenge
Static portfolios tell people what you can do; ZenOS shows them. I built a fully interactive, web-based operating system hosted entirely on Zo Computer to serve as my personal hub, portfolio, and technical playground.
Key Features & Technical Highlights:
- Custom Window Manager: A fully draggable, resizable, and mobile-responsive desktop shell built from scratch in React and Tailwind CSS.
- Voi-ZOS (AI Voice Assistant): A deeply integrated, voice-to-voice AI agent powered by Gemini. It acts as an interactive guide to my work and experience.
- Real-World Integrations: Features an X (Twitter) Feed powered by backend proxies, and a direct Calendar booking integration for seamless scheduling.
- Gamification & State Management: An OS-wide "Signal Hunt" challenges users to explore the terminal, use the Konami code, and uncover easter eggs. Embedded Zo Apps (Zo Trivia and Zo City) add a bit of fun as well.
- Native Monetization: Integrated with Zo's native Stripe features via an in-OS "App Store" where users can tip, buy me coffee, or purchase consulting time.
- Extra Flavor: Particle effects with Black Hole on mouse click, theme picker, matrix screensaver, etc.
ZenOS was built to push the limits of what a personal site can be—blending creative concept, robust API engineering, and highly polished micro-interactions.

meet tofu 🐶 - a pixel corgi that lives on my shipped work, dies on my laziness, and can haunt me forever (probably). built under 48 hours.
go visit while he's alive: https://tofu-hark.zocomputer.io/
tofu is a personal website with consequences.
pixel-art corgi. health bar wired to github and linear. every hour of silence drains him, live, in front of anyone watching. as health drops the scene shifts cooler and dimmer.
below 20%, any visitor clicks "generate shame." zo's llm writes a meme using my exact idle hours and last commit. memegen renders it. posts to discord. my phone buzzes.
when he hits zero: eulogy, tombstone on /graveyard. 50 flowers from strangers and he comes back from an egg.
tofu talks to visitors continuously - zo llm reads his health, idle time, the hour, whether you've been before. at 3am: "it's 3am and we're both still here."
zo-native: zo llm (minimax 2.7) · zo native database · zo sms
connected: github · linear · letterboxd + tmdb · memegen api
48 hours. 14 animation states. 3 live environments.
the creative vision:
most personal websites are finished before you visit. i wanted one that changes based on whether i'm working.
two worlds on purpose: the main site is a game hud - 8-bit pixel art, press start 2p, 14 animation states. the graveyard is victorian - playfair epitaphs, collective resurrection. deliberately different planets.
the shame mechanic works because it's specific, not clever. zo llm knows my exact idle hours and last ticket. generic shame bounces off. specific shame doesn't.
zo native throughout - llm, database, sms. this is what personal computing looks like when the infrastructure gets out of the way.
