Current Labs

Active experiments being forged in public

Each lab has a public purpose, a current release stage, and a next milestone. These are real products in different phases of development.

Status Chart

Pending

Still being built into an initial alpha. Access may be limited while core flows are assembled.

Alpha

Early usable testing. Core flows exist, but bugs and rough edges are expected.

Beta

Broader testing. The product is more stable while polish and scale improve.

V1

Version one. If it earns traction, it can move to a subdomain and later its own domain.

Lifecycle: labs begin as pending builds, move into alpha for first public testing, then beta for a broader and steadier test group. A V1 lab that gets traction can graduate from the Forge into a dedicated subdomain or live URL, and eventually its own domain name.
