A graveyard of failed projects, scrapped prototypes, and abandoned experiments. Most of these went nowhere. None of them are online for anyone to see. But the notes from the wreckage might be interesting.
Last updated: February 2026
Most of these projects failed. They were built during a period of intense, unfocused experimentation -- chasing ideas across AI orchestration, knowledge systems, learning tools, philosophy, theology, creative coding, and whatever else seemed interesting at 2am. The majority were scrapped before anyone else ever saw them. Some never got past a prototype. Others worked fine but solved problems nobody had.
The method behind everything is one-shot composition: creating something from a single prompt (or close to it), with context files acting as modulators and configuration. No iterative product development -- just a prompt and what comes out of it. The published sites are proof-of-concept sketches, not polished products.
I'm not putting most of this online for others to use. But a handful have real promise and might be worth cleaning up into something publishable -- marked below with amber dots. The rest are here because even failed experiments leave behind useful notes, and the wreckage of forty-some projects is its own kind of documentation.
