Architecting
ideas into reality.

Creative Brain + Systems Thinker + 20 Years in Design and Marketing

I'm Mark. I build products that solve problems I care about with the help of an AI Operating System I architected. This is a public build log and a venture hub. Take a look at what's in the pipeline. Vote on the build you want to see next, or step in and join. Have a problem of your own? Pitch it, or commission the build.

Principles

How I choose what to build

01

Interest and impact decide.

Two questions, nothing else. Does it hold my attention, and does fixing it matter to enough people. Commissions included.

02

Money is never the reason.

Solving the problem comes first. Profit is the fuel, never the motive. It's why these ideas are public, and open to anyone who wants to solve them.

03

Here to build. Not manage.

People join projects, but I don't assign the work and I don't manage anyone. Trust is earned on the work, not handed out. Coordination runs through my agents, which keeps my attention on the problem.

04

Ethics is the only limit.

Any idea gets entertained as long as it can be built honestly. No set focus, no categories.

05

Taste is non-negotiable.

Every output is hand-crafted until the detail is right. That precision is what earns the Seedro name on it.

06

Nothing ships untested.

Every build is put through real use before it goes out. If it hasn't survived contact with the real world, it isn't finished.

The Pipeline

What's being built

Every idea here is my own — the problems I want to solve.

Current Focuslive, and where my attention is

Snappalm

Shipping
The problemFor almost two decades the front edge of a MacBook has pressed into your palms, and the market's answer has been stickers, glued-on pads and taped-on plastic bumpers.
The solution

The world's first snap-on palm rest for MacBook Pro, and the most ambitious thing I've taken on. A physical product means tolerances, materials and a production line. On top of that sits the brand, the photography, the storefront and the marketing. Six months non-stop, over a thousand hours, more than a hundred prototypes.

The AI Staff

Running
The problemA solo operator drowns in the operational layer and never gets to the actual work.
The solution

Five specialized agents — operations, infrastructure, creative, growth and counsel — that run the business day to day. Not a chatbot. They hold their own memory, keep their own schedule, and act without being asked. Running continuously since April 2026, and this page is one of its outputs.

Next in Queuewhat gets built after

The Keepers

Concept
The problemRoblox is shaping a generation. Almost everything on it is engineered to hold attention and extract spend, not to develop the kids playing it.
The solution

A Roblox game built to develop kids rather than farm their attention. Survival plus philanthropy: players land in barren country with tools and technology and have to keep starving people and animals alive while surviving the environment themselves. You have to stay alive to keep giving.

Founders 100

Open
The problemSolo founders build alone, and most communities sell a course instead of actual support.
The solution

An application-only room of 100 solo builders trading the AI tactics, workarounds and execution frameworks that actually work. Capped on purpose.

Breve

Soon
The problemDictation either sends your voice to somebody's server, makes you wait, or turns setup into a project.
The solution

On-device dictation that returns text in about 110 milliseconds, with nothing leaving the machine. Hold a key, speak, let go — no modes, no models to pick, nothing to configure.

QueueDrop

Concept
The problemMost walk-in restaurants still run their line on a clipboard and a host's memory. The tools that fix that charge a monthly fee, and the free one hands your customer data to Yelp.
The solution

A virtual line that venues use for free. Customers scan a QR code to join, watch their place move, and get called when the table is ready. No app to download and no subscription. The money comes from customers who choose to pay to move up the line. Every competitor sends the venue a bill; this one sends it a share.

NearbyChat

Parked
The problemEvery chat app connects you to people anywhere. None of them connect you to the people who happen to be around you right now.
The solution

A live chat room that only exists for the people near you. Open it and you see one feed — every message posted by anyone within fifteen miles, appearing in real time. No sign-up, no email, no password: you're handed an anonymous handle and you're in. Walk out of range and the conversation goes with you. Built for the things that are actually local — an event, a neighborhood, whoever happens to be around.

Lifeguard Vision

Concept
The problemDrowning is silent and fast. There is no splashing and no shouting, most water has no lifeguard on it at all, and the ones that do can't watch every swimmer at once.
The solution

A portable device that watches the water the way a lifeguard would. Computer vision scans for the signs of someone in trouble, and the moment it sees them it raises an alarm and calls out where the incident is. It rolls to wherever it's needed — a pool, a lake, a stretch of beach — so the watching stops depending on who happens to be on duty.

Human-Ad

Concept
The problemBrands can't get a camera crew inside a sold-out show. The footage that would actually sell them something belongs to whoever is already standing on the floor.
The solution

People get free tickets to concerts, games and festivals in exchange for wearing a brand and carrying a 360 camera. What the advertiser is really buying isn't the shirt. It's first-person footage from inside venues no agency can film in, shot by someone who wanted to be there anyway.

Labsone-off experiments, released as they land

Thread Synthesizer

Live
The problemA big thread has an answer somewhere in it, but hundreds of comments and a vote count won't tell you what the room actually thinks.
The solution

Paste any public Reddit thread and it clusters every comment into the handful of positions people are actually taking, then weights each one by how much the room agrees rather than how loudly it posts. Comment count and agreement weight diverge more often than you'd expect — that gap is usually the real story of the thread. The clustering is the model's; every count, percentage and weight is computed in code, so the numbers hold up.

Patent Drawing Studio

Internal
The problemPatent drawings have to satisfy dozens of federal formatting rules and get rejected when they don't. The usual answer is to pay a draftsman.
The solution

Reference photos in, USPTO-compliant patent drawings out. It draws the black-line art, vectorizes it, checks every sheet against the federal drawing rules — margins, line weights, reference numerals, shading, solid lines for what's claimed and broken lines for what isn't — then exports the filing PDF with the description of the drawings already drafted. Built because Snappalm needed its own design-patent drawings.

The Commonsproblems that belong to everyone — published as a book, a channel, a series

Centered

Concept
The problemEveryone drifts. The industry sells motivation, not a way to see where you've drifted or what to do about it.
The solution

Six dimensions of a life — physical, mental, emotional, social, purpose, mindset — each one always drifting in and out of center. Not motivation: the architecture of staying balanced, and the tools to see where you've drifted. It's my own synthesis, worked out for myself first. Book or channel, undecided. The point is to put those tools in as many hands as possible.

The Seed That Stayed

Concept
The problemBooks for young children teach caution by default, and rarely show what playing it safe costs.
The solution

A children's book about risk and reward. It follows one choice down both paths so a child can see where each leads, without telling them which to pick.

Pitch & Commission

Pitch an idea. Keep control. Or commission the build.

Equity Partnership

If you have a concept and no execution engine, pitch it here. If I choose to ride along, you keep 51% originator equity and ultimate control. I bring the AI architecture and rapid prototyping. You bring the domain expertise.

Paid Commission

For one-off builds without equity sharing, commission the build. Acceptance is not guaranteed — I only execute projects I want to be part of. Each build is scoped individually and includes system architecture, real-world testing and validation. Terms and pricing are shared once the concept has been reviewed.

[+] Co-Build Terms & How to Join

Equity

There are no hourly payouts for contributors, and no charges for execution on partnered ventures. The build is for the return.

  • The Originator Rule. The originator of the concept retains a default 51% equity and ultimate control.
  • Value-Based Distribution. The remaining 49% is distributed strictly on value brought to the table. When the project reaches profitability, the split dictates the payout. Specifics are locked before execution begins.

Joining a project

  • Open to anyone who can show value. Genuine interest in the project gets you a hearing. Demonstrated value gets you in.
  • You define your own role. Every member is responsible for what they bring. Nothing is ever posted as an opening — work out what's missing and pitch the value you'd bring. Finding the gap is part of the qualification.
