LineageKit

An Operating System for Family-Tree Research

A public, MIT-licensed template for serious genealogy — an evidence-first methodology where every claim carries a label (confirmed, probable, hypothesis, conflicting, disproved), research happens in bounded cycles with explicit verdicts, and your commercial tree host stays read-only forever. Includes GEDCOM tooling, a fully synthetic worked example, and a deployable family archive site with a moderated inbox for relatives' memories and photos. Your AI installs it and works the research with you.

The Perfect Season Arcade

Five Games · One Engine

One game engine, five obsessions. 162-0 challenges you to build a baseball roster capable of a perfect season. 82-0 takes the same challenge to the ice. Greenlight turns it on the movies — 660 real films, judged by critics and audiences. Showstopper plays it out on Broadway, balancing longevity, acclaim, and Tony wins under a budget cap. And 17-0 hits the gridiron — draft an all-era fantasy football roster from the 1970s to today and chase a perfect 17-0 season. All free, all in the browser.
