ECSTA.SI itself
Turning the studio site into a release channel with real case studies, playable tools, bilingual routes and fewer assumptions hidden in JavaScript.
Current
side effects.
A public note about what the studio is building, testing and refusing to pretend is finished.
What has our attention.
The site is a working surface, not a completed monument. These are the things currently receiving unreasonable amounts of thought.
S1 Forge
Improving image preparation and machine workflows for laser work so fewer materials are sacrificed to the gods of test grids.
Auction Intelligence
Converting scraped lots into useful rankings, price signals and decisions instead of merely producing a larger pile of data.
Small useful machines
Interactive brand tools, generators and automations that solve one irritating problem well enough to deserve their own Drop number.
How work happens now.
Direct collaboration, early prototypes and honest constraints. No account-manager relay race and no ceremonial presentation containing forty-seven slides about circles.
Current rules
- Useful before impressive, then ideally both.
- One strong idea beats six nervous directions.
- Working prototypes expose nonsense earlier than meetings do.
- Capacity and deadlines are discussed before promises are made.
- Interesting problems receive more enthusiasm than fashionable categories.
