// What we're building

Projects

Products, platforms, and systems moving through the lab. Some are public. Some are still behind the blast door.

Current board

  • Production products separated from experiments
  • Beta, pilot, and prototype work clearly labeled
  • Crazy ideas kept honest until they earn a lane
TAGD

Prototype

Birthday Drop

A gift link that feels personal.

For
People sending digital gifts that should feel less like a code dump.
Built

Demoable prototype
Prototype

FAXD

Fax it up.

For
Teams that still receive high-friction documents and need a cleaner intake surface.
Built
Landing page, mock inbox, simulated upload, document detail, summary panels, webhook-shaped intake.
Live
Demo shell; no real telecom, OCR, or AI extraction yet.
Prototype

Lab Log Terminal

The public signal feed, in prototype form.

For
DRKNYT operators and curious visitors who need a public-safe activity signal without exposing private work.
Built
Live-feed shell, GitHub/Vercel/manual event intake, privacy marker rules, terminal-style renderer.
Live
Prototype route exists at /lab-log; the homepage no longer depends on it.
Prototype

DRK Radio

A shared playlist experiment.

For
The lab culture layer: a lightweight way for people to add songs, vote, and shape a shared build soundtrack.
Built
Spotify playlist hooks, queue/vote APIs, mobile music-player UI prototype, command-deck counters.
Live
Prototype only; removed from homepage until the playlist/voting loop is reliable.
Prototype

Experimental

The ideas we're not ready to talk about yet.

For
The lab itself: a place for ideas too early, weird, or sharp to over-explain.
Built
AI crew sketches, hardware notes, Friday prototypes, experiment bench.
Live
Selective demos
Crazy idea
