Engines

Focused tools

Each one makes a part of something. Pick the one that matches what you're doing right now โ€” or say what you want to make and the right one gets suggested.


Start

Help me figure out what I'm making.

Idea Engine

One decision: the version of the idea you're going with, and the first thing to do about it.

Use this toYou have three versions of the same idea and keep going in circles.

โ€œA card game for my kidsโ€ comes out as four versions, scored, and you leave with one.

Make

Help me create part of it โ€” software, a design, a song, a story, a fix.

Build Machine

Turn an old computer into a machine that can actually build what you're making.

Use this toThe computer you own cannot build the thing yet.

An eight-year-old laptop ends up running the same tools this site was built with.

Design Shop

A design package and an Etsy listing draft you can copy straight into a listing.

Use this toYou want to make something people can buy โ€” a print, a shirt, a sticker, a mug.

One product idea becomes five directions, scored, and an Etsy listing you can paste in.

Your first build

A beginner walkthrough that ends with something real running on your own screen.

Use this toYou have never built anything and want the whole thing walked through once.

Six short rounds that end with something real running on your own screen. No account.

Build Engine

Beta

A build prompt detailed enough to hand to your coding tool, plus the MVP scope and architecture behind it.

Use this toYou know what you want to make and need the actual first build.

A site that tracks your kids' chores becomes an MVP scope and a prompt you paste into your coding tool.

Fix Engine

Beta

A careful repair prompt that inspects before it edits, plus the regression checks around it.

Use this toSomething you already made broke, and you do not want to break the rest of it.

โ€œThe login stopped workingโ€ becomes a repair plan that inspects before it edits.

How To Anything

Beta

A complete production package for one proven fix โ€” voiceover script, shot list, YouTube title/description/tags, pinned comment, thumbnail plan, article, and social versions. You film it and press publish.

Use this toYou already know how to fix something and want to teach it.

One repair you have done becomes a script, a shot list and a YouTube listing.

Music Engine

Beta

One next move at a time toward a real exported track โ€” plus, for a song already under way, a preserved source moving toward a playable Version One. The audio comes out of your music software, not out of this page.

Use this toYou have words, a melody in your head, a voice memo, or nothing at all.

A hummed chorus becomes a song project with a real arrangement to record.

Game Engine

Owner only

A playable doku world โ€” published live to OpenDoku when run by the owner.

Use this toYou want to make a puzzle world and play it.

MineDoku was made this way and is live on OpenDoku.

Runs on the owner's machine

Story Partner

Owner only

A growing novel project โ€” memories, characters, relationships, storylines, scenes with full revision history, series planning, and a chapter outline โ€” saved in the author's browser, exportable as backups.

Use this toYou want to turn things that actually happened into a book.

Memories go in in any order; characters, scenes and a chapter outline come out.

Runs on the owner's machine

Plan

Help me work through it โ€” dates, people, a finish line.

Five Hour Sprint

One disciplined five-hour block that ends with a finished piece instead of an open tab.

Use this toYou have one free evening and want to finish something instead of opening tabs.

Five hours becomes a packet: what you are making, in what order, and when to stop.

Plan Engine

Beta

A real-world plan: milestones, owners, dependencies, risks, and the next concrete action.

Use this toThe thing you are organising is not software โ€” an event, a season, a move.

A fundraiser becomes phases, owners, dates and the next concrete action.

Finish

Help me get it out into the world.

Grow Engine

Beta

One growth hypothesis and the smallest experiment that would prove it, with a decision rule.

Use this toIt is live and quiet, and you want to move one real number.

Forty visitors a week becomes one hypothesis and the smallest test that proves it.

Launch Engine

Beta

A launch package: what's not ready, the production checks, the message, and one number to measure.

Use this toIt works on your screen and now real people have to see it.

A finished site becomes a readiness check, a blocker list and one number to watch.

Sell Engine

Beta

An offer someone could actually buy: customer, format, price hypothesis, and the first validation test.

Use this toYou want money to change hands and do not know what you are actually selling.

โ€œI could do this for peopleโ€ becomes a customer, an offer, a price and a first test.

Not sure which one

You do not have to pick. Say what you want to make and the right engine is offered to you.

Opening an engine needs an account, because the work has to be saved somewhere it can come back to you. The account is free during the open beta. What that means.
