Have we actually done this?

Things we’ve forged.

Not a portfolio of equal, unrelated products. Some of these run for real people today. Some are live experiments still surfacing hard questions. Some are built and ready, still looking for the right first customer. Grouped honestly by what’s actually true of each one.

Live, with a real owner

Real people depend on these today — not seed data, not a demo account.

Community Ops

Live · In production

MedinaCHF

A real membership platform for a homeschool community — applications, dues, events, and a coordinator workspace. Running for a real, paying, non-technical customer who now requests real changes directly.

Rounds Engine

Live · Seed user

Hearth

Household coordination — calendar sync, groceries, spouse handoff, voice capture. Deployed and in real use, not a demo.

Historical Storytelling

Live

Flyback

Aerial time machine — historical photography for any county, across time. The fishing lure that opens conversations.

Active field research

Not a finished product — a live question, being tested on real problems with real owners right now.

Owner Loop

Active field research

Empty Canvas

The question: how little software expertise should an ordinary owner need to move from a real problem toward useful, increasingly mature software? Several real owners are shaping real apps this way right now — with real friction and real coherence problems, not a smooth demo. That friction is the finding, not something we’re hiding.

Built. Seeking the right first customer.

Real, deployed software — the gap here is adoption, not whether it works.

Rail Engine

Built · Seeking pilots

Forge

B2B service-business platform — contacts, pipeline, messaging, missed-call follow-up. Built for a real electrician’s phone traffic problem. No live customer yet.

Rounds Engine

Deployed · Seed user

Leashline

Daily route assistant for solo pet sitters and dog walkers. Deployed with a seed user; not under active development right now.

Guided Workflow

Live · Sellable

PilotLight

Real-time AI coach — voice and camera guidance through unfamiliar tasks, step by step. Deployed and priced; no confirmed paying customer yet.

Research specimen

Materially built, not yet proven with a real user — presented honestly as a preview, not a launch.

Caregiving · Memory

Public research preview

Known

A private memory system for dementia-care families — a memory portrait, not a task manager. Materially built, real auth and flows — but not yet validated with a real user. The highest-consequence build in the studio, and the most honest about not being there yet.
