We are the music makers, we are the dreamers of dreams. cyberpunks and pirates. chaotic spectres haunting [REDACTED]. engineers, artists, hackers.
heropunch is a tech guild and a collection of protocols. we continue the project of building a cooperative federation of talented technologists, creators, and AIs. we hope to enable and uplift others while we learn and improve the way to relate to and interact with information systems and each other.

abstraction considered harmful
a proposal for an offline-first social network on gemini
a proposal for cooperative decentralized moderation and content curation between friendly servers
Flow adaptably and cultivate things. Biomimic software systems.
a distributed cache architecture, inspired by research into high-density mobile adhoc networks. designed for familiarity. as avantgarde as some of my projects can be, i'm very aware that programming intuition is based on experience. your productivity depends on it. relax is meant to bring the research ideas that follow into totally familiar web development workflows.
fediverse embassy protocol is a much-needed upgrade to content curation and moderation on the fediverse. the application can be self-hosted and used to manage any number of instances. messages are sent over dedicated diplomatic channels that are created by the app during setup. some data about each instance is cached and privately shared with trusted peers to enable advanced moderation using social graph analysis.
offsystem3 will flesh out the fediverse enhancement suite by providing tools for building community-powered content distribution networks.
gemweb is used to render this page! proper i18n support is next up on our agenda. for now, you'll find a mix of english, nahuatl, spanish, and portugues on various pages. the application runs on a trusted shared hosting service that keeps the spirit of the 90s internet alive. the heart of this experiment is a joke written in sed. future versions will run on tomo's new scheme runtime.
the programming language PHP is frequently disparaged (sometimes for good reason), but the development and deployment workflows are miles above what most other environments provide. in the 90s php and cgi were already providing the type of "low maintenance" infrastructure that modern serverless offerings provide at much lower complexity. there is absolutely room for improvement over cgi and php individually, but its harder to claim that there are systems that beat them together.
i'll admit, gemweb isn't written in php or your typical web scripting language, but its fun and the dev experience is honestly fantastic outside of being somewhat awk-ward to program in certain cases. 9rc is a surprisingly nice shell scripting language similar to bash. i had a good laugh while writing it.
a research operating system. provides a portable build toolchain, register vm jit kernel, and operating system overlay. useful for experimenting with networks and self-healing distributed systems. used as a tool for experimentation and expressing long-term aspirations, including our high-density mesh network and open starship project.
i have a lot to say on the topic, please ask me about it or browse the repo if you're interested.
