Why I Built Music Kite Connect
A pass is only useful when it connects identity, place and permission without turning the whole product into a ticketing system.
THINGS
Products, experiments, tools and older work — kept with their real state attached.
The Jargon Laundry
Paste your website copy and it marks every phrase you share with ten thousand other websites, then scores how dirty the wash was.
The Gig Is Everywhere and Nowhere
A live event can exist on six platforms and still be hard to find. Music Kite is an attempt to make the scattered fragments agree.
When a Map Stops Being a Map
A festival map starts as artwork and becomes a coordinate system, a data model and a promise that the thing on screen matches the ground.
Updating the Same Gig Six Times Is Ridiculous
One change to a live event should not require six manual edits. The real product problem is deciding who owns the canonical event.
Tre, Pol & Pen
Enter a name, receive a Cornish place that does not exist and a meaning that does not either. Deterministic, so you can argue about it properly.
Gull Radar
Will a herring gull take your food? Eight factors, one percentage, and a verdict about who the pasty really belonged to.
The Pocket
Hold to drop, release to climb, stay in the pocket of an endless wave. Two sine waves that never quite repeat, and one input.
TAP
Tap the beat, get the tempo and the territory it lives in. No microphone: it counts your taps and nothing else.
Poster Press
Three lines of text into a gig poster you can actually put on a wall. House typography, no colour pickers, 1080 × 1350 straight to your downloads.
Gig Money Reality Cheque
What a gig actually pays per hour once travel, load-in, soundcheck and waiting are counted. Spicy, honest, and only ever as good as your numbers.
Is It Actually Done?
Eight honest checkboxes and one verdict about the thing you keep not shipping. The final twenty per cent, as a tool.
