Things I’m building or exploring, plus some uncultivated ideas I’m exploring.
Active
Gondola — an open-source Android chat client for Venice, with a Rust core and a tree-based conversation UX.
riptide — a Rust sync engine for end-to-end encrypted sync between my own devices (CRDTs, Iroh transport). The foundation under Gondola and future shells.
Agent-native payments — exploring how software agents pay for data and services via x402 micropayments instead of getting rate-limited and CAPTCHA’d. The browser is dying for utilitarian work; agents should be welcomed as paying customers.
I have nothing to show that’s public yet for any of these.
Ideas
The $10k House — just an idea, nothing built: a modular, open-source cabin with standardized parts, a distributed supply chain, solar and batteries, buildable in days. Any part replaceable from a hardware store or a 3D printer.
