Why this matters
Most developers never touch a surface this constrained. Doing it anyway shows range and stubbornness.

Wearable interface / smart-glasses client
Reddit Feed Even
A Reddit client built for Even Realities G2 smart glasses, designed for a surface most portfolios never touch.
Domain
Wearable interface / smart-glasses client
Role / ownership
Interface design for a constrained wearable surface, platform adaptation, app structure, and integration work around an emerging hardware ecosystem.
Stack
React 19 · Vite · TypeScript · Even Hub SDK · Hono · Wrangler
01 — Challenge
Challenge
Designing for smart glasses means the interface cannot behave like a normal web app. Information density, gestures, navigation, and context all change.
The work also had to adapt to an emerging SDK and a still-young platform ecosystem.
02 — Solution & architecture
Solution & architecture
A modular React/Vite app tied to the Even ecosystem, with controls, packaging, and deployment tooling built for the platform — not the web.
The real win is making Reddit usable on a tiny screen strapped to your face — not the novelty of the glasses themselves.
03 — Tradeoffs
Tradeoffs
Had to rethink every interaction for a screen you glance at, not stare at. No hover states, no dense layouts, no forgiveness for clutter.
Built on an SDK that was still changing. Some features broke between versions, so I kept the architecture loose and the surface simple.

What it proves
Pietro is comfortable building for new surfaces where interaction rules are not already standardized.
He ships unusual technical work as something people can actually use, not just a demo.
