AFTER HOURS AT MALLACORE

The Workshop.

A few things I make when curiosity takes over. A game about attention, a new way into an old text, and a moment to think before we buy.

VOL. 01 · THREE PROJECTS

On the workbench.

01Play

Build Your Own
Yeshiva RPG

Pair students, decide where to spend a teacher’s limited attention, and see how those choices shape a house of learning.

Early playable prototype

Project notes

I made attention the scarce resource. The puzzle is how to care for a community when everyone needs something different from you.

Isometric study hall: pairs of students at two tables, a teacher whose attention ring covers one pair, an unpaired student with a question mark, and game cards for pairing learners and a mentor slot.

02Learn

LomdAI

Explore a classical Jewish text through its original words, translation, and questions grounded in the passage.

Released reading app

Project notes

I wanted the text to stay in view as a reader follows a question. The next step can come from the passage itself.

The LomdAI library shelves — Mussar, Chassidus, Machshava, Tanach, Mishnah and Talmud — with Pirkei Avot opened to a passage card: the original Hebrew, an English translation, and a question about the line.

03Reflect

The Meaning Store

An optional pause while shopping on Amazon asks what you hope this purchase will bring into your life.

Local prototype

Project notes

I put the question right at the shopping moment. Enjoyment, convenience, and beauty can all be good reasons to go ahead.

A product page dims behind a gentle pause asking what you hope the purchase will bring into your life, with answer options and buttons to continue or save for later.
