smart blinds

Blinds that read the light and decide for themselves.

The blinds shipped with an official app that drops its connection and loses track of which blind is which. This is the same hardware driven from a web page instead: scan, connect, send any blind to any position, and have it remember them next time.

fontloop

A brief in plain English; a real typeface out.

Drawing a display face means committing a few hundred curves by hand before you find out whether the idea was any good. This turns a written brief into a style descriptor and renders the whole family from it, so an idea can be judged in seconds instead of weeks — and then compiled to a font you can actually install.

avatars

One file defines a character; everything else is generated.

An end-to-end test of how much of a consistent synthetic identity can be automated. A single definition holds a character's look, voice and world, and everything downstream — the images, the writing, the posting schedule — is derived from that one file rather than authored per post.
