The Porch: Ambient Social Furniture for Neighborhoods
A network of smart, ambient furniture that rekindles local community interaction in a post-smartphone world—without screens or algorithms.
Project Siren: The Silent DJ
An open-source, privacy-first music companion that lives entirely on your local machine—no cloud, no tracking, no accounts. It uses on-device neural networks to analyze your music library and generate adaptive playlists, all without ever sending a single byte of data to anyone.
Eden: The Offline-First, Zero-Telemetry Build System
A deterministic, local-only build system and dependency manager that never phones home—designed for developers who value reproducibility, privacy, and simplicity.
The Weft: A Hyperlink-Rich Personal Knowledge Base Without a Single Server
A cross-platform, offline-first personal knowledge base that stores everything locally and syncs peer-to-peer only on demand—no cloud, no accounts, just your thoughts.
The Detroit Connector
A hyperlocal productivity app that turns Detroit's scatter of repurposed factory coworking spaces and informal errand networks into a single, dynamic hub for focused work and neighborhood collaboration.
NeighbourNet: The Offline Community Server
A plug-and-play physical server that creates a local, cloud-free digital neighborhood—file sharing, messaging, classifieds, and events—all on a private mesh network.
ContextCache: Local Ephemeral Context Server for AI Pair Programmers
A zero-setup, privacy-first daemon that streams recent file edits, git status, and terminal history to AI coding assistants via a local API, so they never ask 'what file are you working on?' again.
EchoLens — Private, Local Music Discovery
A music player that analyzes your local library to create hyper-personalized, serendipitous playlists, all without ever sending your listening data anywhere.
