PORTLAND, OREGON / OPEN SOURCE / COMMUNITY SOFTWARE
We build software for the things people share.
Tool libraries, neighborhood lending, civic maps, community solar. Public software people can run themselves, plus experiments that show how the work gets built.
What this is: Throughline Technical Services is a small Portland shop for open-source and community software. It holds the licenses, the trademarks, and the GitHub org. It is not selling consulting.

Project deep dives
Read all → Shape of Done Four months of full-time AI orchestration. The failure mode I see everywhere: agents producing the shape of finished work without doing the work. The Interview A voice and chat experiment that turns a conversation into a structured specification an agent can build from. Boopadoop How a shared AI canvas went from spec to production in one afternoon - with zero human-written application code. Mesopotamian Pottery One rambling question about ancient pottery. One working session. Thirty pages, 13 chronological phases, a live interactive website, and an email-gated PDF. Sidefire The story of building a real-time chat platform with AI agents - the spectacular failure and the lessons that made everything after it possible. Sqzarr A self-hosted GPU transcoder built entirely by agents from a voice interview. Its deficiency report improved the pipeline more than the app improved the server. Fork the Vote Voice in, deployed app out, no human code. The family voting app was the test case. The specification pipeline was the experiment. Johnny Solarseed Educational tools and open-source Home Assistant integrations built around one question: why does solar cost $50K? Codenoscopy A quick experiment with Claude's API turned into a trademarked AI code review tool, built and polished almost entirely through AI coaching. OpenBaseline A thought experiment about making preventive health testing affordable and understandable - born from working inside a clinical diagnostics lab. Smart Home Lab A sprawling Home Assistant installation that doubles as a research platform - where solar optimization, AI-assisted automation, and too many sensors meet.
Building something for your neighborhood?
Tool libraries, mutual aid groups, neighborhood associations, community solar co-ops. If you are trying to make sharing work and the software is in the way, I would like to hear about it.
