Projects

Active products, apps, prototypes, and experiments from the Darminsky lab. Each project is labelled with its current stage — active build, prototype, R&D, or live.

Project Foundry

Active

An AI-native platform for turning ideas into structured, actionable projects. Includes architect mode, MCP integration, billing, and enterprise auth.

Latest: Core planning, artifact, assistant, and MCP workflows are live and run every Darminsky project. Direction is sharpening around Architect as a flagship intelligence layer, AI-generated visuals, a dedicated Forge development workspace, and Recenter for projects that drift.

Updated Jun 27, 2026

Crumbtrail

Active

A place-collection and print studio. Track restaurants, cafés, and spots to explore — then turn your collection into beautiful printable maps, checklists, and keepsakes.

Latest: Deployed to production on Azure Container Apps. Full auth, collections, place management, and six print templates are live.

Next.jsTypeScriptPostgreSQLAzure

Updated Apr 28, 2026

Pathwaze

Prototype

Navigation and wayfinding for complex spaces, helping people find their way with accessible, offline-capable routes.

Latest: Wayfinding engine work is underway, with accessibility-first routing and pilot venue validation planned next.

iOSSwiftMapsAccessibility

Updated Apr 15, 2026

Dossier

Live

A privacy-first notes app. No tracking, no ads — just a calm space for your thoughts with tags, search, and iCloud sync.

Latest: Dossier is live on the App Store. Next update is in progress.

iOSSwiftNotesProductivity

Updated Apr 15, 2026

TOY — Thinking of You

R&D

A lightweight relationship app built around gentle nudges to stay in touch without the noise of a social feed.

Latest: Early concept validation only — no product has been built. Currently testing whether gentle, privacy-respecting nudges feel genuinely helpful before committing to a full build.

iOSSwiftPrivacy

Updated Apr 15, 2026

Darminsky

Active

The venture-lab platform itself — the website you're on now. A public home for Darminsky's active projects, apps, experiments, and updates.

Latest: Now an engageable platform, not just a showcase: email-based follows, aggregate likes, and moderated comments are live, the newsletter sends end-to-end with AI-assisted drafting, and a tokenized preference center lets visitors manage what we send them.

Milestone: Lightweight community layer live

Next.jsTypeScriptPostgreSQLAzure

Updated Jun 27, 2026

Clearworth

Active

A financial command center for a solo incorporated professional — personal money, corporate money, and the movement between them, kept clearly separate.

Latest: Built first for Darminsky's own books, which keeps the requirements honest: it has to be trustworthy before it is clever.

TypeScriptPostgreSQLAzure

Updated Jul 11, 2026

FourFifty Hub

Active

A calm personal command center: capture → triage → today. The attention layer around daily life and work.

Latest: The app shell and initial data model are deployed. The scope boundary against Project Foundry is holding: FourFifty handles daily capture, triage, attention, and routing; Foundry keeps idea and project development.

ReactTypeScriptPostgreSQLExpressAzure

Updated Jul 31, 2026

PromptForge

Active

A task-focused development prompt compiler: feature request + adaptive requirements + software standards + application context + implementation patterns + target coding agent = an execution-ready prompt.

Latest: Staging deploys end to end on Azure from one script — provisioning, database migration, Entra app registration, in-Azure image build, and rollout.

ReactTypeScriptPostgreSQLExpressAzureEntra ID

Updated Jul 30, 2026

Curvio

Prototype

A navigation app for drivers who care about the road itself — finding smooth pavement, scenic routes, and genuinely fun driving roads.

Latest: The client moved to Expo across iOS, Android, and web, with routing and scoring extracted into shared packages and telemetry proxied to GeoPulse.

React NativeExpoTypeScriptPostgreSQLMapbox

Updated Jul 29, 2026

GeoPulse

Active

Explainable geospatial analysis as a provider-neutral service — boundaries, arrival and geofence detection, travel-time prediction, and coverage analysis behind a versioned API.

Latest: GeoPulse was detached from Replit and is now independently deployable with provider-neutral config, auth, and infrastructure. It is the service layer; client applications consume it over the versioned API.

TypeScriptPostgreSQLExpressReactDocker

Updated Jul 29, 2026

Rulebound

Live

The home for codified wisdom — turn what you know into living rule books: numbered principles carrying the reasoning, the practice, the exceptions, and the receipts.

Latest: Context Packs (W10) shipped in v25 and are live at rulebound.ca, with a public showcase pack seeded. Workshop continues to extend books from principles into commands, recipes, and recorded work trails.

Next.jsTypeScriptSupabasePostgreSQL

Updated Jul 20, 2026

Knowlattice

Active

A personalized learning workspace — “a private observatory for your mind.” Knowlattice tracks what you're learning, models your understanding, and keeps knowledge alive.

Latest: The MVP is focused deliberately on the understanding workspace rather than a course catalog, with the concept graph and review queue as the core loop.

ReactTypeScriptPostgreSQLAzureAI

Updated Jul 17, 2026

CircuitForge AI

Active

An AI-assisted electronics design workspace: describe a project in plain language, get a real circuit — then simulate it, validate it, fix it, and export the build docs.

Latest: The parts library carries behavioral models — supply ranges, absolute maximums, per-mode current draw, regulator dropout curves, battery capacity — so validation findings come from the real design rather than a checklist.

ReactTypeScriptSupabaseClaude APIVite

Updated Jul 16, 2026

Codar

Prototype

Device Radar — turn several ordinary phones into a coordinated Bluetooth sensing array and see, on one shared map, what each of them can detect.

Latest: Multiple phones can now join one session and compare what each of them sees on a shared radar view, which is the foundation the trilateration work builds on.

React NativeExpoTypeScriptWebSocketBLE

Updated Jun 3, 2026

OpenBridge

Active

A reviewed catalog of public APIs and open datasets — with licensing notes, attribution guidance, sample access paths, and honest reliability caveats.

Latest: Community submissions are moderated rather than open, which keeps the catalog's core promise — that entries have actually been reviewed — intact.

TypeScriptPostgreSQLExpressAI

Updated Jun 3, 2026

Make My Dream Come True

Active

Turn someday into a plan. Enter a vague dream, answer a short reflective intake, and get a structured Dream Blueprint with steps, timeline, budget, risks, and one concrete next action.

Latest: The MVP closes the whole private loop — vague dream in, edited blueprint and a dated next action out — without any social or funding layer attached.

TypeScriptPostgreSQLAIAzure

Updated Jun 1, 2026

Outpost

Active

The weekend readiness layer for cottages, campsites, cabins, and wild weekends — turning an already-booked getaway into a shared, departure-ready plan.

Latest: The Readiness Card is the organising idea: one honest, shared view of whether the group is actually ready to leave.

ReactTypeScriptPostgreSQLExpressAzure

Updated May 31, 2026

Mottchuh

Active

A private remix sketchpad. Upload audio you own, get real compatibility analysis, pick a remix mode, and generate short preview sketches for your own Remix Locker.

Latest: Everything that was mocked in the first MVP is now real: the analysis, the rendering, the storage, and the access control.

ReactTypeScriptPostgreSQLFFmpegAzureClerk

Updated May 25, 2026

Kintrace

Active

A private timeline for the events that actually mattered — mapped, selectively shared with family, and printable as a keepsake.

Latest: Sharing is deliberately owner-gated: nothing becomes visible without the owner marking it shareable, and every recipient link can be revoked.

Next.jsTypeScriptPostgreSQLAzure

Updated May 14, 2026

Pathwise

Active

Career-path ROI, side by side. Compare university, college, trades, bootcamps, certifications, and self-taught routes to the same outcome across cost, time, debt, salary, risk, and break-even.

Latest: The framing is outcome-first: pick the career outcome, then compare every route to it on the same axes rather than arguing about paths in the abstract.

ReactTypeScriptPostgreSQLExpressAzure

Updated May 3, 2026

Peekr

Active

What can the internet see about you right now? Peekr makes invisible web exposure immediate and visual, in a single session.

Latest: The hard design constraint is honesty: everything observed is real, everything simulated is labelled as a simulation wherever it appears.

Next.jsTypeScriptAzure

Updated May 3, 2026

Living Canvas

Prototype

A spatial thinking workspace where notes, tasks, and AI-assisted organisation live on the same canvas.

Latest: The prototype holds the core bet: don't force structure early, then let AI-assisted passes reorganise the canvas once there's enough on it.

TypeScriptPostgreSQLExpressAzureAI

Updated Apr 22, 2026

BioForge

Prototype

An AI-assisted biomimicry workspace for turning biological mechanisms into concrete engineering concepts.

Latest: The prototype covers the core loop: explore organisms, compare principles, and save a synthesis with its reasoning intact.

TypeScriptPostgreSQLExpressAzureAI

Updated Apr 21, 2026

Glimps

Prototype

A personal memory search engine. Capture moments as voice notes or photos, then ask for them back in plain language.

Latest: The core promise held through the build: every answer is grounded in a stored memory, so the system will say it doesn't know rather than invent one.

React NativeExpoTypeScriptPostgreSQLpgvectorAI

Updated Apr 8, 2026

Rock Bottom

Prototype

Indoor climbing, tracked properly — log your sends, keep your beta, and see where you sit on your gym's leaderboard.

Latest: The MVP covers the loop that matters at the gym: log a climb with media, attach it to a route, and see it land on the leaderboard.

React NativeExpoTypeScriptSupabaseFirebase

Updated Apr 5, 2026

System Foundry

Active

A developer platform for discovering, modeling, connecting, provisioning, deploying, and monitoring modern software systems.

Latest: Separate from Project Foundry despite the name: System Foundry is about the running system — architecture, infrastructure, deployment, and drift — rather than the planning layer above it.

ReactTypeScriptPostgreSQLAzureBicep

Updated Mar 21, 2026

Dial Portfolio

Prototype

A portfolio you turn rather than scroll — a physical-feeling rotary dial with detents, momentum, and sound as the entire navigation model.

Latest: An interaction experiment rather than a product — the question is whether a dial can replace scrolling without becoming a novelty.

ReactTypeScriptViteFramer Motion

Updated Feb 15, 2026

DM Cockpit

Prototype

A dark-first control surface for running tabletop D&D sessions — multi-panel campaign management with a high-contrast projector mode for the table.

Latest: The DM dashboard and the projector rendering are working as separate surfaces, which is the split the whole design depends on.

ReactTypeScriptPostgreSQLExpress

Updated Feb 15, 2026

FXNS

Prototype

“Zapier for your life, not your business” — visual, no-code automation aimed at personal workflows instead of company ones.

Latest: The consumer positioning is the whole point: templates, triggers, and integrations are chosen for personal life rather than business operations.

ReactTypeScriptPostgreSQLExpress

Updated Feb 15, 2026

TeachMate

Prototype

A digital teaching companion for teacher candidates — lesson planning, spaced-repetition flashcards, classroom utilities, and private notes in one place.

Latest: The scope is deliberately small — four things a teacher candidate actually does every week, rather than a platform.

ReactTypeScriptPostgreSQLExpress

Updated Feb 15, 2026

The Obvious

Live

A single-page thinking surface built to interrupt autopilot and respect attention. Not a course, not a productivity tool — a finished object.

Latest: Finished on purpose. The only changes accepted against v1 are bug fixes, accessibility improvements, and performance work.
