Strata

fig. str · Software1 pl.

Real-time archiving of live DJ set tracklists - infrastructure for creative attribution.

why

Millions experience music primarily through DJs — a cultural hallmark of music curation — yet the live set leaves almost no legible record of itself.

Infrastructure for creative attribution in a culture that has long protected the DJ's curation by keeping the producer off the record.

why

The producers whose tracks build every night are otherwise invisible - automatic attribution can become the norm.

how

The browsable desktop archive shows live tracklist and timestamps through layered WebGL shaders and motion that reads like weather — while the touchscreen in the booth is its operational inverse: high contrast, large tap targets, near-zero motion, so DJs can use it under stage lighting in 1.5 seconds per interaction.

how

Weathers the network. The Pi disk-queues writes and replays on reconnect. Hardware-fingerprint auth on every write.

how

Geology-inspired design system. Faune font — the signage typeface of France's natural-history museum, with iron-oxide inspired color (cobalt 265° in OKLCH, with a 5% earth-ochre accent).

how

A set that walks 8A → 9A → 10A reads as a cohesive harmonic gradient; 2B → 7A reads as a dramatic cut. Camelot-wheel coloring, re-tuned in OKLCH for a dark substrate.

The Audio Hunt

fig. the · Software12 pl.

Music-industry platform for managing artist bookings, payments, gear, calendar, song credits.

why

Studios run on a mix of disparate tools, spliced together manually. Studio Assistant collapses the patchwork into one shared booking object.

how

One booking (and its' details) viewed differently by the studio manager, client and engineers.

how

Card + ACH payments via Finix. Tokenized, fraud-detected, pre-authorized.

how

Resource-filtered calendar — see one room, one staff member, or one piece of equipment at a time.

Naqsha

fig. naq · Software8 pl.

A generative-art studio for pen plotters and laser cutters. Every composition is a URL: open the link, get the exact pattern back, re-roll.

why

Most generative tools tune knobs one at a time. Naqsha randomizes them all at once - freeze what matters, re-roll the rest.

how

Three pattern families - spirograph, recursive, flow lines - randomize together. Find one you like; freeze what matters.

how

Every composition serializes into a URL - pattern, parameters, locks, seeds. Share a link, get the exact composition back.

how

Exports SVG (plotters), G-code (cutters), raster (sketchbooks) - matched to physical pipelines, not download habits.

VeloMindAI

fig. vel · AI4 pl.

Describe the ride you want in plain words — a flat 20-mile loop near the water — and it returns real, ranked routes on a map, each with a line on why it fits.

why

Mapping apps route point to point. They can't answer 'find me a good ride.' VeloMindAI treats that as search, not navigation.

how

Search is four steps: an LLM pulls the hard constraints, the query is embedded, pgvector finds the nearest routes, and a second LLM re-ranks and explains them.

how

The model is kept honest: it won't run if corpus and query embeddings disagree, re-ranks that invent route IDs are discarded, and empty filters loosen on purpose and say so.

how

A LangGraph agent plans one-off rides through geospatial tools over MCP, streaming text and maps over SSE — and stops generating the moment you navigate away.

how

A Python/PostGIS pipeline builds the corpus from open civic data: map-matched through Valhalla, quality-scored, deduped by source precedence, then embedded for semantic search.

win

Five ADRs, UTM-18N projection discipline for honest distances, and resumable quota-aware caching — under TDD with Vitest + Supertest behind a single CI gate.
