Copies vendor and project docs into Markdown, indexes them with SQLite FTS5, and searches them locally. Quality is measured: the public BM25 sample reaches 95.8% Hit@1 and 100% Hit@5, and anyone can rerun it against pinned pages.
Public catalog · tagged releases
Nico Stranquist
Senior software engineer, St. Louis.
I build developer platforms, local developer tools, and full-stack products.
These are the public products I will stand behind. Each product has a license and a tagged release you can inspect. Private work and unfinished projects stay off this page.

Public products only. Unproven claims are rejected. No invented numbers.
Selected work
Plugins, typed records, full-text and relationship search, and a drift check that fails when the catalog and the source files disagree. The public core leaves out personal telemetry, valuation, and host-only policy.
Accounts, a friend graph, a feed with friends-or-public visibility, comments, notifications, and messages. Updates live through Convex queries. MIT, with a public v0.1.0 release.
Trace what an agent did, what it saw, what it was allowed to call, and what was proven. Every answer is saved as a local file (a receipt). Nothing sends data off the machine, and nothing asks the model to score itself.
Visible, hidden, and always-hidden regions, notch-safe overflow, and a searchable reveal panel. It stays on your Mac: no account, no network service. Public source release under GPL-3.0.
Profiles, eligibility rules, claim lists that reject unproven numbers, and apply packages a person reviews before sending. The public tree is synthetic-fixture only (example data, not a real resume or job history).
How I work
Local-first
The default path works on your computer. A cloud account is not required.
Fail-closed
If a check cannot prove the result is safe, the tool stops. Missing evidence is treated as a failure.
Proof, not posture
I publish evaluations, passing CI, and tagged releases. I do not invent users, customers, or revenue.
