gtlab
Manifesto · I

A short note,
in lieu of a pitch.

gtlab is me. It’s the name I put on the software I make — not a company in the venture sense, closer to a studio, or a pen name. A room in which to work on things slowly.

The products live under their own names. gtlab is the patient thing behind them: a workshop, a continuity, a way of staying with the same ideas long enough to do them justice.

I’m drawn to considered products. Tools that age well. Interfaces that stay out of the way. Software you might still want to use in five years. There’s enough of the other kind already.

Things appear here at the speed of one person working carefully — not at the speed of a market. The Index on the front page is honest in that respect: redacted not for theatre, but because the work isn’t ready to be looked at.

If any of this sounds like the room you’d like to be in, write.
