Tools that graduated into their own properties.
Each of these started as an experiment on the bench and earned its own home.

The Feed & The Thread
A daily two-voice show on what moved in UX: one voice reads the industry, and the other reads the rooms where we actually argue about it. The pipeline watches the feeds and the threads, drafts the episode on local hardware, and waits for a human edit before anything airs.
-
Patterns & Signals
The daily news and conversation are loud spikes of information that tell a slightly different story when read across weeks and months. We surface the signals underneath the noise, and highlight the patterns and divergences between the UX industry and its community.
-
Tugboat
A real-time news source with a daily podcast briefing on an active conflict. The reporting connects financial markets, global news feeds, economic indicators, and federal contracting, delivered each morning in four segments.
-
5 Minute UX
A free library of UX lessons built on real instructional design, where a single script turns one topic into a podcast, a video, and a written lesson. Every lesson carries its own quality score in the open, so the standard is visible and verifiable rather than assumed. A short self-assessment at the end lets you check what actually stuck.
-
Executive Order Translator
Executive orders arrive as dense legal prose, and we turn each one into plain language, with every claim linked back to the words it came from. The writer drafts blind from a structured summary, a plain string match verifies each quote character for character, and a human approves it before it goes live.
-
Spirit Spy
Every bottle in the collection got there by being photographed, with a local vision model reading the label for the distillery, the cask, the age, and the producer’s own words. Pick a spirit out of that catalog, choose a flavor and a few tasting notes, and a local model invents an original cocktail we can make and try, with no account and nothing saved.
-
Nucleus Radio
Eight stations play from the collection around the clock, and a local voice steps in between the songs to say what is on and what just arrived. New music reaches the shelf through its own pipeline, so the introductions are about records that genuinely turned up this week.

Comics Collector
We catalog a three-decade comics collection and enrich every issue against a local comics database with ComicVine on top, browsable by publisher, era, and decade.
