Design studio operating out of a timber frame barn in rural Pennsylvania.
Our goal is to resist "the great software quality collapse" by building repairable and understandable technology.

We seek to ever so slightly extend the vernacular; to put a thin veneer of technology around it.
Not as a required failure point, but as an optional extension to the human toolset.

We do not believe in using high abstraction UI to achieve a lay, wide audience.
We believe in low abstraction mechanisms- text, command line, gears, pulleys, etc.
In mainstream computing, ease of use is usually implemented as superficial simplicity, as an additional layer of complexity that hides the underlying layers.

Low abstraction understandability is superior to High abstraction comfort and polish.

We first create great technology, then seek demand.
Seeking demand first, letting the market dictate design, is how we got to where we are today- disposable javascript web apps, $80k trucks that cannot be repaired, "sustainable" smart buildings that last only a few decades.
