Projects, systems and research
Things that are not products
None of this is something you can use. It is kept away from the network on purpose, so an experiment can never be mistaken for a service.
In development
Operating systems, a browser and platforms being built now. Some keep a public engineering record of their own; none has anything to install, sign in to or buy, and each page says exactly what has and has not been shown.
- In developmentPublic engineering record
ITISYOU OS
A pre-alpha, Rust-built research kernel developed and verified entirely inside QEMU, exploring what a personal operating system could look like with explicit privilege boundaries built in from the start.
The question
Can a personal operating system be designed today around explicit privilege boundaries, recoverable state and local-first intelligence, rather than having those properties added on afterwards? - In developmentPublic engineering record
ITISYOU Browser
A Chromium-based desktop browser, built on CEF, with the sandbox on and AI structurally off by default. Phase 1 of a planned four is complete on Windows; nothing has been released.
The question
Can a real, sandboxed, Chromium-based browser be built with privacy boundaries and an AI off-switch designed in from the very first line of code, rather than retrofitted once the product already exists? - In developmentPublic engineering record
AI-First OS
A research project building a phone operating system in which AI agents may propose actions, but only separate, deterministic code can permit them to happen.
The question
Can an AI-first phone genuinely delegate real actions to AI agents without ever letting a model decide what is safe? - In developmentPrivate
Build
A private, in-development platform for software project governance — lifecycle, traceability, impact analysis and evidence-gated approvals, held to its own standard.
The question
Can a governance platform for software projects hold itself to the same evidence standard it demands of the projects it tracks? - In developmentPrivate
ITISYOU Products
A private, in-development UK toy storefront: catalogue with toy-safety compliance gates, cart, checkout, fulfilment, returns, support and admin with MFA. Not open.
The question
Can a UK toy storefront meet the safety, payment and fulfilment standards it would need before anyone could actually buy something from it?
Private systems
Working software with no public address — operational, and deliberately not released. What is public is the account of how each one works.
- Operational · Private local system
Project Intelligence Agent
A private, local-first system that discovers and indexes multiple software projects, answers questions about them with citations into real files, works out which tests a change actually needs, and attempts small, bounded repairs in isolated copies — with every safeguard biased towards refusing rather than guessing.
The question
Can an engineering assistant be useful across many real projects while running entirely locally — no source code, no documents and no questions ever leaving the machine?
Experiments with results
Work that was actually carried out, with the measurements published — including the ones that did not go the way I expected.
- Research concept
Running a classifier on a real quantum computer
An experiment that put a four-qubit variational circuit at the end of a classical machine-learning pipeline, ran it on real IBM hardware, and measured what that actually bought. The answer was not an accuracy win, and the repository says so in its own first paragraph.
The question
Can a quantum circuit do the final classification step in a real machine-learning pipeline — and if it can, does it help?
Concepts
Questions, not plans. Nothing has been built, nothing has been named, and there is no date for either.
- Concept — nothing built
An unnamed ERP migration knowledge concept
A research question about whether organisations could share tested ERP migration patterns with each other without sharing anything about their customers. There is no name, no domain, no prototype and no code.
This concept has no name. The heading above is a description — naming it would be the first step towards describing it as a product.
- Concept — nothing built
An unnamed structured social-information concept
An early question about whether posts could become structured, connected, evolving information instead of isolated items that fall down a feed and are gone. Unnamed, undesigned and unbuilt.
This concept has no name. The heading above is a description — naming it would be the first step towards describing it as a product.
