Offline HTML Tools You Own Forever

One file, one purchase, no subscription.

A line of Swiss-Army knives for developers, writers, designers and founders — every tool a single HTML file that opens in 2040 because browsers do not forget HTML. One purchase, no subscription, no server to call home to; the whole utility lives in a file you can email to yourself, drop on a USB stick, or quietly archive for the decade after the company that made it has gone.

Inner Life

Meanwhile, in Transitional.Life

Leaving Your Religion

When faith becomes past tense.

A new companion volume meets readers in the long hallway between belief and whatever follows. No prescriptions; only words for the room — for the silence after grace, the empty chair at the table, the calendar that no longer keeps holy days. A small book to carry through the season when the old language has gone quiet and the new one has not yet arrived.

A Private Desktop Think Tank

The Mind's Sandbox and Studio — nothing ever leaves your machine.

Seven lenses — economic, political, social, cultural, technological, environmental, ethical — turn each idea slowly in their hands, showing what one perspective alone never could.

A Private Journal That Becomes a Memoir

A 200 KB HTML file, encrypted with the user's passphrase, married to local AI for chapter-by-chapter generation.

Five tiers of weighted significance, voice-from-the-lantern audio, a sealing ritual with a wax stamp. The words never leave the machine; the memoir reaches the people who matter.

Self-Contained HTML Apps, Loosely Coupled

Write a tiny HTML app. Save it to the buffet. Let it speak to the others through a postMessage event bus.

Shared IndexedDB tables, central file storage, app packs you can import from a URL. A modest operating system you assemble yourself.
