Featured projects include:
Built independently with a focus on runtime systems, WebAssembly, AI tooling, and browser infrastructure.
Screenshots and project summaries for all three projects.
Real Linux in a browser tab. The site positions itself as zero-install, local-first, and useful for fast disposable shells, teaching, demos, and lightweight dev tasks.
A shell-native LLM agent that runs on any Linux box. A single POSIX shell script that gives you an autonomous agent loop against OpenAI or Anthropic — with shell tool calls, rolling memory, and mentor mode.
<shell> blocks, claw runs them and feeds results back.
Lightweight browser arcade space. Current homepage presents a Snake game experience with keyboard/tap controls and score tracking.
Homepage messaging emphasizes: real kernel, no install, no account requirement, browser-local execution, optional TCP egress/tunnels, and practical use cases like disposable sandboxes, demos, and teaching Linux by URL.
Architecture and product research for the traits.build polyglot function platform and its Stable Traits release layer.
What is traits.build?
A polyglot function platform — write a function in any language (JS, Python, Rust, Java, Perl, TypeScript), expose it at a dot-notation address, and call it from any other language or HTTP client. The core value proposition: "Universal Composable Functions — compose JS, Python, Rust into one seamless API."
Runtime architecture
A Rust binary (straits) acts as the polyglot router. It loads function definitions from .trait.toml files, starts language-specific worker subprocesses on demand (Node.js, Python, Java, Perl — Rust runs in-process), and dispatches calls over newline-delimited JSON on stdin/stdout. Each request carries a UUID for concurrent request/response multiplexing. The HTTP layer is Actix-web; the trait registry is a thread-safe DashMap.
Three-layer kernel model
Kernel — fixed infrastructure: registry, dependency resolution, trait loader, interface resolution.
Namespaces — capability domains (sys, net, gui, kernel, …), each defined by a namespace.toml manifest.
Traits — concrete implementations. A trait path can act as an interface (sys.rename) with multiple prioritised implementations (sys.rename.posix at priority 100, sys.rename.safe at 50).
Stable Traits — release & verification layer
Immutable, backward-compatible trait releases with blockchain-anchored integrity. Once a trait is published its signature, tests, and interface contracts are locked — future releases must be backward-compatible. Every release is SHA-256 checksummed and appended to a local hash-chain registry, optionally anchored to the Base (EVM) blockchain. All 14 sys.* traits are compiled as native Rust modules into the binary — no subprocess overhead for system calls.
Stable Traits system map
| Layer | Trait | Purpose |
|---|---|---|
| Checksum | sys.checksum | Deterministic SHA-256 over canonicalised JSON |
| Release | sys.release | Snapshot, verify, test, fix — creates .releases.json artefacts |
| Registry | sys.registry_chain | Append-only local hash-chain with genesis block and verification |
| Blockchain | sys.chain_anchor_* | 9 traits for Base network anchoring (prepare, submit, sign, verify, …) |
| Gated calls | sys.straits_call | Every call gated by chain + compat verification before execution |
| Versioning | sys.straits_version | Auto YYMMDD versioning with intraday suffix (YYMMDD.HHMMSS) |

traits.build landing page scope (traits.build)
Phase 1: static marketing with tabbed code examples (API / Python / JS / TOML), 6-feature highlight grid (Polyglot, Composable, AI-Native, Visual Builder, Package Format, Handles & Streaming), SDK installation grid (Rust/Cargo, npm, pip), and install script. Phase 2: embedded live playground, trait marketplace browser, real-time execution demo.
