Wordsmith Text Editor May 6, 2026
The first release of Wordsmith is now available! Wordsmith is a new open source project created by Bitfreak Software: a text editor that aims to optimize and enhance the writing process as much as possible without relying on LLM's.
Wordsmith is a simple but powerful text editor designed specifically for writers and speed typists. It provides word suggestions and includes an auto-complete feature. There is also a built in dictionary that makes use of the Open English Wordnet.
Wordsmith also provides quick access to a list of synonyms and other related words (by right clicking on a word). The synonyms are also taken from the Open English Wordnet, the other related words use a custom word database created using WordParser.
Wordsmith also includes a built in document viewer which supports HTML and Markdown files, making it easy to preview your documents. It also provides Markdown formatting tools so you wont need to remember most of the Markdown syntax.
New Website Theme May 5, 2026
This website has been in desperate need of an upgrade for several years now, so I spent some time working on a new design that looks clean and modern. It also portrays the spirit of Bitfreak Software more accurately, especially as we move into the future and begin focusing on video game development. Stay tuned for more news about that in the not too distance future.
The new theme is well suited for writing articles / blog posts, so we plan to start posting more content on this website in the future, such as articles related to video game development and software development, information related to AI and other technologies, plus anything else we think is interesting or worth sharing.
CAIT - Core AI Toolkit April 27, 2026
The first release of CAIT - The Core AI Toolkit - is now available. A modular Model Context Protocol (MCP) server that extends AI assistants with practical capabilities: file I/O, a persistent Python REPL, AST-aware code analysis, semantic text search, document conversion, Wikipedia & arXiv tools, a persistent vector memory database, and other general utilities.
A total of 37 tools across 9 modules. Each module can be disabled independently via the CAIT_DISABLE environment variable. The tools were made through collaboration with Claude in order to determine what functions would be most useful for AI agents. Several agent prompts and skill files are also included to help agents effectively plan and manage complex projects.
