Experiments

Why we experiment

Not every idea deserves a company. Some deserve two weeks and a domain name. Experiments is where those ideas get tested before they earn a place in the holdings: fast, cheap, and honest about the odds.

Most things don't work

Most experiments here won't become products. That's not a failure of the process, it's the point of it. An experiment that ends in three weeks for ten dollars is a good outcome, not a bad one.

The record

Nothing has been shut down yet, so there's nothing to list here. When something is, it goes here too: the name, what it was, why it stopped. Same treatment either way.

What keeps something alive

An experiment moves from here to a real holding when it earns that on its own: real use, a person who needs it, a reason to keep maintaining it. Nothing graduates because it's been around a while.
