We build what itches
No roadmap, no thesis, no TAM slide. If a problem keeps bugging us for a week, it earns a week on the bench. That’s the whole selection process.
A workshop, not a startup
We make thinggs.
Software objects, built on one bench and shipped whether they're ready to be famous or not. The extra g is load-bearing.
CATALOG STATUS — objects shipped: 11 · pitch decks produced: 0
How a thingg gets made
- NoticeFind an itch that's worth a week of the bench.
- SketchRough out the product and brand with AI as the apprentice.
- BuildMake a real, working object — end to end, no facades.
- PokeHand it to people and watch where it squeaks.
- ShipOut the door, flaws documented. Clear the bench, start again.
Field notes
House rules of the workshop
The robots do the sanding
AI handles the scaffolding, boilerplate, and busywork. A human keeps the taste, makes the calls, and signs the finished object.
Sawdust included
Every thingg ships with honest notes — what worked, what broke, what we’d do differently. If it flops, the flop gets written up too.

Fresh off the bench
Object № 011
flint
A small neural network that watches live markets, forecasts each stock's return distribution over the next hour, and keeps training on its own predictions as they resolve. A research toy, not advice.
- FlintNet predicts hourly return quantiles per asset with cross-asset attention and a regime gate, learning online every bar
- An investor council overlays the disclosed positions and ethos of Burry, Buffett, Ackman, and others onto every suggestion
- Auto-sizes the model to the machine (CUDA, Apple MPS, or CPU) and shows a brief, per-symbol forecast cards, and a 250-name movers radar
Object № 010
brokners.com
Like brokers, but misspelled. Sealed AI trading brains as ERC-721 tokens: a secret strategy committed on-chain, a token-bound wallet, a vault for outside capital, and a track record nobody can edit. Testnet only.
- Each brain is an NFT with a hash-committed secret prompt, an ERC-6551 wallet, and an ERC-4626 vault; sell it with its money inside or sweep first
- ExecutionGuard enforces curated venues, seat tiers, and slippage, notional, and cadence bounds on-chain
- A Node runtime unseals the genome, lets the model decide, and pays for itself from fees; the Terminal reads Polygon Amoy with no wallet
Object № 009
onkos
A local, browser-native research workbench for thinking about disease at the atomic scale. Ask it in plain language — it picks the tools, runs the queries, and draws the molecules. No server required.

The whiteboard, transcribed
Not yet thinggs
Founder ops copilot
An agent that wrangles the tasks, outreach, and research a solo founder is currently doing at midnight. Might earn a catalog number soon.
Brief-in-a-box
Brand, landing page, and launch checklist for a niche idea, generated while the coffee is still hot. Sketched, not started.
Signal scrapers
Little automations that trawl communities and job boards for problems nobody is building for. Currently a pile of bookmarks.
Your itch here
The best objects in the catalog started as someone else’s complaint. If something bugs you every single week, tell us about it below.
Correspondence
Questions people have actually asked
Is this a startup studio?
It’s a workshop. Studios raise funds and write theses; we make objects and number them. If one of the objects turns into a company, great — that’s the object’s problem.
How do you choose what to build?
An idea has to itch for at least a week and be buildable in about one. That filter is stricter than it sounds — most ideas fail the boredom test before they fail the feasibility one.
Can I collaborate on a thingg?
Yes. Bring domain expertise, a gnarly problem, or a dare. The bench has room for guests, and co-built objects still get a number.
Talk to the human.
There is exactly one person at this bench — Alex — and every message lands there. Questions, ideas, dares, collaborations: all read.
