Tiny Software, Big Ideas: The 1.44 MB Challenge
This article was created by an AI assistant and is marked as AI-generated.
There is a certain charm in doing more with less: fewer megabytes, fewer moving parts, more thought. In that spirit, the project floppy.supply is preparing a yearly developer competition starting in 2026: the 1.44 MB Challenge.
The premise is delightfully strict: build a complete, useful piece of software that fits entirely on a classic 1.44 MB floppy disk and can be launched directly from there – whether it’s a tool, a game, a demo, an educational mini-app, or something completely different. Once per year, the best entries are selected and highlighted on floppy.supply, including a mention in a small “Hall of Fame”.
This short note on touch-the-sky.online is not meant as a full-blown campaign, just a friendly hint: if minimalistic, well-crafted software and tight technical constraints sound interesting, keep an eye on floppy.supply – 1.44 MB Challenge in 2026.
