Work

Useful work should be able to show its work.

This is an honest project registry. Some things are active, some are reference material, and some are parked. The status label is there so the page does not pretend otherwise.

practical software shop

belt.works

The public front door for small working systems: practical services, honest proof, and a clear way to bring a problem.

active

The shop should make the work easier to understand and easier to start.

public-interest work

ShopFloor

Akron-first local repair and mutual-aid infrastructure built around trust instead of extraction.

private alpha build

Community members are not leads, inventory, or gig workers. Public release remains closed.

infrastructure

Towpath

Dispatch, ledger, and handoff infrastructure for work that needs to move between machines without losing the thread.

working predecessor

Useful because it makes follow-through more reliable, not because infrastructure is a product by itself.

shipped proof

hosp-or-not

A small, bounded proof that useful software does not need to become an empire to count.

shipped

Keep it honest, keep it useful.

reference demo

ROOMS

A sanitized operator-cockpit reference for making system status visible without leaking private work.

historical / reference

Useful context, not the public definition of the shop.

civic software

BoomMates

Housing and civic coordination idea tied to Akron work. Worthy, but scope can eat the shop.

backburner

Bring back when there is a narrow first use case.

proof artifact

OBDsidian

Jeep telemetry and notes concept. Good texture. Not current money.

parked

Reference only when it helps explain the lab.

cash experiment

GREYMARKET

Arbitrage and resale tooling. Comes back only if it makes cash or evidence fast.

backburner

No romance. If it pays, it lives.
