Our Vision: Open-Source Tools for Freedom

We’re building a practical, believable path to open hardware + software: start with web-apps and subscriptions, then ship devices you can own, repair, and remix.

Everything here is open-inspired and community-driven. We credit the pioneers and link directly to them below.

Subscriptions (Now)

To get off the ground, we’re offering simple monthly tiers and launching a suite of web-apps (sites, CRM, chat, docs). Subscriptions fund R&D and community builds.

We’ll stay lean and profitable first—then build hardware.

Open Laptop (after profitability)

Modular, repairable laptop inspired by Balthazar. Developer-friendly on Debian or Arch. Early prototypes likely on RISC-V SBCs, then our own boards.

Balthazar.space → NLnet prototype →
Goal: 14” display, user-replaceable parts, open firmware.
OS: Debian / Arch Prototype: RISC-V SBC

Open Phone (next)

Privacy-first smartphone based on a mobile Linux stack. We’ll prototype UX on Ubuntu Touch and adjacent projects to keep it practical.

Ubuntu Touch (UBports) → postmarketOS → PinePhone →
Target: open drivers where possible, PWA-first apps, encrypted sync.
OS: Ubuntu Touch Alt: postmarketOS

E-Bike / Scooter (after phone)

Modular, serviceable mobility with open motor-control roots and easy battery swaps. Start small, then scale to micro-EV.

VESC motor-control ecosystem →
Aim: safe controllers, standard connectors, weather-resistant wiring.
Battery: swappable Mounts: universal

Micro-EV / Car (later)

Graduate from scooter/bike to a road-legal micro-EV inspired by the open TABBY EVO platform. Keep it modular and hackable for community fleets.

Open Motors · TABBY EVO → Download TABBY designs →
Focus: low cost, easy maintenance, interchangeable modules.
Chassis: modular Telematics: open

Backpack (travel desk, power, storage)

A nomad backpack that converts into a compact standing desk, with mounts for laptop/phone, battery module, and solar panel pocket. Built to last, field-repairable.

Open Source Ecology →
Fabric: organic cotton / merino / linen blends; repair kit included.
Desk-mode Solar pocket

Open Tent (lightweight, secure)

Light, weather-resistant tent designed for repairability and modular add-ons (solar, sensors). Community-manufacturable with accessible materials.

OSE · Global Village Construction Set →
Focus: easy to pitch, easy to mend, parts you can source locally.
Modular poles Repair patches

Yurt / Eco-Shelter (community build)

Durable, insulating shelter for longer stays and micro-villages. Leverage open building toolkits and accessible fabrication methods.

Open Building Institute →
Goal: plans + BOMs + build guides under permissive licenses.
Insulated Expandable

Roadmap (Practical & Believable)

Now → Profitability
Launch websites + a suite of web-apps; grow $0 / $5 / $20 subscriptions to fund hardware R&D.
After Profitability
1) Laptop → 2) Phone → 3) E-bike/Scooter → 4) Backpack → 5) Tent → 6) Car → 7) Yurt.
Long-Term
Local fabrication hubs, open supply chains, and community-run fleets—powered by open standards.
