Projects

Systems I built, tested, or pushed too far.

Some became working systems. Some were learning experiments. Some expanded until the original finish line disappeared. This page keeps those categories separate.

Recovered systems

Projects with enough surviving evidence to reconstruct what they were and how far they got.

Status vocabulary

I do not want every old repository presented as if it were a finished product.

Operational

It ran and did useful work

There is evidence of actual execution, deployment, integration or real-world use.

Experiment

Built primarily to learn

The experiment may be complete even if the repository was never polished into a product.

Paused

The objective still matters

Work stopped because of time, capacity or changing priorities rather than because the idea was disproven.

Archived

Useful evidence, not active work

Worth preserving for history, techniques, code, lessons or future reconstruction.
