CUPOC: An attempt towards a world of CUriosity, POssiblity and Creativity
Dumpyard
Dumpyard's daily feed is built against the finished, admired artifact. Every card is evidence that the world is inexhaustibly particular, mostly unglamorous, and almost nothing in it is done, so the reader arrives in the middle of something, not at the end of it.
Forty hand-picked cards a day across fifteen kinds, each closing on an open edge instead of a conclusion. Three cards a day are deliberate collisions, pairing unrelated domains that share a hidden mechanism, and a nine-card spine of things people built or fixed keeps the page anchored in what a reader can actually go and do.
Minds on Maps
Most of the people you need to meet, you never do, not because they're far, but because there's no way to find them in a room full of strangers. Minds on Maps engineers that serendipity instead of leaving it to luck.
It fuses GPS, Bluetooth and NFC to surface relevant people nearby in real time, matching on skills and interests through zero-knowledge proofs and on-device encrypted profiles so neither side exposes raw data. Deliberately no feed, no followers: it shipped across both app stores in three months with no third-party data sharing.
Omnid
A cryptographic identity and coordination protocol for a web where trust and access travel with the person, not the platform.
The stack spans zero-knowledge proofs for anonymous coordination, a user-controlled encrypted Vault, cross-chain messaging and a privacy-preserving Proxy RPC layer. Function Cloud offloads ZK proof generation for low-power devices, and Connections builds real-world trust graphs for social recovery and people discovery, with SDKs across ReactJS, React Native and NodeJS.
Convo Space
A decentralized conversation and reputation layer for the web, built so discussions aren't trapped inside a single app but travel with whatever they're attached to.
Conversations anchor to any web element (an NFT, a transaction, a governance proposal), owned by the user's decentralized identity and stored on IPFS via Textile's ThreadDB. It ships a REST API, a WebSocket layer, a Web2-to-Web3 bridge and JS/React/Deno SDKs, with reputation layered on top to unlock access portably across communities.
