01/Identity
Human capability software
Human capability software.
Modest tools that help people do more for themselves.
The user is the protagonist.
The software is leverage.
02/Products
Products in the open.
Two first-party entries today: one in active development and one concept showing the breadth of the philosophy.
03/Principles
A practical relationship with the user.
- 01
The user is the protagonist.
The person remains the central actor.
- 02
The software is leverage.
Structure and assistance without unnecessary replacement.
- 03
Open source by default.
Inspectable, portable and open to contribution.
- 04
Usage over subscriptions.
Spending should follow genuine utility.
- 05
Craft over captivity.
Earn return through quality rather than lock-in.
04/Ecosystem
Shared foundations. Independent products.
A future-facing model shown as intent, not as infrastructure that already exists.
PROTAGONIST OSS
Curated open-source ecosystem
Shared identity
Shared credits
Shared billing

05/Developers
Two paths for people who want to build.
The platform is not designed yet. The direction is open for aligned developers to help shape through real work.
A/Build with Protagonist
Contribute to first-party work.
ThoughtForm, future products and shared foundations may create opportunities for open-source contribution.
B/Build your own
Create an aligned independent product.
The intention is to admit independently built open-source products that broadly pass the Protagonist product test.
