The tools follow the ethics. Not the other way around.
Attribution First
Every contribution tracked and credited from day one. No contribution disappears into the void โ the Serving Test is architecture, not aspiration.
Accessibility as Liberation
Accessibility isn't compliance โ it's the floor of who gets to be in the room. We build for the gardener on a $30 phone with ADHD and chronic fatigue on library Wi-Fi.
Local First, Always
Our tools run offline in your browser. No data leaves your machine without your say. Data sovereignty isn't a feature โ it's the foundation.
Fairness as Architecture
When one voice carries more than its share, the system flags it โ not as punishment, but as care. The garden listens to everyone.
