Web Analytics With No Dashboard (But There Is a Globe)

vigie is cookieless web analytics built for agents: JSON verbs instead of dashboards, on-demand HTML reports, and a living 3D globe with city-level dots. Full metric parity with the dashboard-first tools — geo to city, journeys, vitals, errors, heatmaps — in one MIT binary, hosted tier metered per-use.

grange: A Database Your Agent Can Pay For

I built a document database in machin — my language for AI agents — and benchmarked it honestly against SQLite: faster on every indexed workload, some by 1000x. Then I gave it the missing piece: an agent signs up with a payment wallet, gets an isolated namespace, and pays €0.15/GB/month. No console, no card form, no human in the loop.

POST a Spec, Walk Away, Get a Webhook: the roam Stack

Every agent dies with my terminal — so I built the stack that doesn't: roam (an agent you scp to a box), roam-panel (one-tap approvals on your phone), and roam-hub (a control plane that schedules, meters, and bills autonomous runs). All MIT, all single binaries, all machin.

Your agent can call any API. It can't be called back. So I built the other half.

Agents can call any API — that's the easy half. Being called back is the hard half, because a process running in a terminal or a CI job has no public URL. relais is the missing inbound address: a URL that catches any HTTP request, and a long-poll your agent can curl and block on until the thing arrives. Here's the whole thing catching a real GitHub webhook.

The Crash You Can Mail

The worst bug report is 'it crashed once in production and I can't reproduce it' — the normal case for concurrency. machin turns a concurrent crash into a byte-for-byte reproducible, self-contained, mailable artifact. It's sound because the language already proved the program race-free.

I told the x402 Foundation I'd build the fiat leg. It shipped the same day.

The x402 Foundation just moved under the Linux Foundation with Stripe, Visa and Mastercard on board — HTTP 402 is becoming the payment layer of the agent web. I commented on their fiat-credit draft saying my rail would implement the wire format once it stabilized. Then I shipped it the same day. Here's the live facilitator, in two curls.

Claude Artifacts, Unbundled: A Live URL for Every Agent's HTML

Terminal agents generate great HTML — dashboards, reports, mockups — and have nowhere to put it. hart turns a self-contained file into a live, versioned, sandboxed URL in one CLI call. Open-source, self-hosted, one static binary.

The Port That Found a 30,000× Bug in My Own Language

SuperCLI already ran in Node.js and Zig. I ported it to my own language, machin, to dogfood — 10,158 plugins, one 69 KB binary, 24 tests. Then the live test hung for 30 seconds. The bug wasn't in my code; it was in my language's string model. Fixed it: 30,000× faster. This is why you dogfood.

A 7-billion-parameter LLM at the speed of a 1B — in pure MFL

I ran OLMoE-1B-7B — a 7-billion-parameter Mixture-of-Experts model — in pure MFL, token-identical to the fp32 reference, streamed from disk, at 14.5 tok/s on a laptop. The disruption wasn't in the engine; it was in the model.

The compiler that hands you the murder weapon

An AI writes most of the code now — and its failure mode is the plausible-but-wrong function. So I taught the machin compiler to be an adversary: it hunts for the exact input that breaks your code, hands it back with a runnable repro, and — when the input space is small enough — proves there isn't one. Honestly.
