The workshop
Projects
Tools, sites and experiments — including the ones that never shipped, because that's part of the record. Each entry links to its source where there is one — the rest say why there isn't. Software lives on the personal account; the open-hardware projects live in the Divergent Futures organisation.
This page lists everything. Each channel also has its own slice: Humans in Space · Living on the Spectrum · Cosmos
Kardashev Ticker
How much energy humanity uses, on Sagan's Kardashev scale, with the live electricity counter underneath it. Zoom out first.
DFHIS
LaunchPath
The truth about crowdfunding, built from 590,000 real Kickstarter projects — the actual odds, a readiness score for your own campaign, and a ranked list of what to fix before you launch.
DF
Prebuild
Work out whether a hardware idea is buildable, what it takes and what it costs — before you spend your one first impression. Finds the one number the whole thing hangs on, then shows you what it actually costs.
DF
Writer's Codex
A local-first, offline-capable organiser for story worlds — characters, timelines, places, threads. No account, no cloud, no backend. All yours.
DFBOOK
Reference Pack Library
Thirteen genre reference packs — 8,562 curated entries on tropes, subgenres, authors, landmark works and craft, every worked example rated on a four-tier scale. Plain JSON, CC BY, free to download.
DFBOOK
The Divergent Futures sites
Four static sites on one shared design system — the readable front door to work that otherwise only exists as a repository.
DFHISLOTSBOOK
Reckoning
Take one idea — even a silly one — and extrapolate it as far as it will go, to see what shakes out at the other end. Then check the method backwards before trusting it forwards.
DF
Helm
The desk behind the channels. Research comes in, gets triaged, and queues up as work — one table, ranked, nothing pinned to a date. Self-hosted and private.
DF
Source stays private — it holds unpublished work.
Constellation
The spectrum is not a category some people are in. It is the whole range of human brains, and everyone is on it — this is the map of it, with the research behind each point and the disagreements left visible.
DFLOTS
Source not published yet.
Hex HUD
A hexagonal stream overlay that can be lit, loaded and added to live, mid-sentence, without touching a keyboard.
DFHISLOTSBOOK
Not pushed yet.
Divergent House Bus
An all-electric self-moving dwelling built on one idea: stop solving heating, cooling, power and storage as four separate problems.
DF
Slipstream
An aerodynamic, all-electric camping trailer designed to be towed behind an EV without destroying its range.
DF
PULSE
A privacy-first desktop companion that nudges movement, protects deep focus, and builds gentle self-knowledge — a mirror, not a tracker.
DFLOTS
Synapse
Feed it an exhibitor list from a maker event and it produces a self-contained map of who is working on what, and where those things are quietly converging.
DF
Prism
A longitudinal record of who actually shows up to build things — tracking Open Sauce exhibitors year over year to see how the open-source and maker world is changing.
DF
Source not published yet.
Mars Supplies Calculator
A first-week sketch of crewed-Mars supply mass. Archived — it was a trial of the idea, not a finished thing, and it gets rebuilt properly when Humans in Space is actually on the air.
