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
ActiveAn 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
ActiveA 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.
Updated Apr 28, 2026
Pathwaze
PrototypeNavigation 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.
Updated Apr 15, 2026
Dossier
LiveA 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.
Updated Apr 15, 2026
TOY — Thinking of You
R&DA 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.
Updated Apr 15, 2026
Darminsky
ActiveThe 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
Updated Jun 27, 2026
Clearworth
ActiveA 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.
Updated Jul 11, 2026
FourFifty Hub
ActiveA 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.
Updated Jul 31, 2026
PromptForge
ActiveA 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.
Updated Jul 30, 2026
Curvio
PrototypeA 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.
Updated Jul 29, 2026
GeoPulse
ActiveExplainable 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.
Updated Jul 29, 2026
Rulebound
LiveThe 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.
Updated Jul 20, 2026
Knowlattice
ActiveA 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.
Updated Jul 17, 2026
CircuitForge AI
ActiveAn 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.
Updated Jul 16, 2026
Codar
PrototypeDevice 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.
Updated Jun 3, 2026
OpenBridge
ActiveA 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.
Updated Jun 3, 2026
Make My Dream Come True
ActiveTurn 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.
Updated Jun 1, 2026
Outpost
ActiveThe 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.
Updated May 31, 2026
Mottchuh
ActiveA 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.
Updated May 25, 2026
Kintrace
ActiveA 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.
Updated May 14, 2026
Pathwise
ActiveCareer-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.
Updated May 3, 2026
Peekr
ActiveWhat 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.
Updated May 3, 2026
Living Canvas
PrototypeA 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.
Updated Apr 22, 2026
BioForge
PrototypeAn 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.
Updated Apr 21, 2026
Glimps
PrototypeA 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.
Updated Apr 8, 2026
Rock Bottom
PrototypeIndoor 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.
Updated Apr 5, 2026
System Foundry
ActiveA 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.
Updated Mar 21, 2026
Dial Portfolio
PrototypeA 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.
Updated Feb 15, 2026
DM Cockpit
PrototypeA 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.
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.
Updated Feb 15, 2026
TeachMate
PrototypeA 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.
Updated Feb 15, 2026
The Obvious
LiveA 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.
