A workbench,
not a shopfront.
I’m Manuel Re. Company31 is the bench I build things on. Three of them are finished and yours to use. The rest is still in pencil.

What is on this sheet
Three things, finished
Most of what starts here stays in pencil. These three did not: they are built, working, and open to whoever finds them useful. I made each one because I wanted it to exist, and I keep them going for the same reason.
Proofline
For anyone holding a grant or funding agreement with a report due. Proofline records every obligation in the agreement and shows which ones have evidence behind them, which do not, and how exposed you are — before the acquittal deadline, not the week after.
Open Proofline ↗CyberSafe
Point it at a website you own and get a plain‑English health check: a 0–100 score, an A–F grade, and a prioritised list of fixes. Consent‑based, non‑intrusive and free, and it stays that way.
Check a site →Owly
Notes that stay yours. Owly is a native Mac notes app that keeps every note as plain Markdown in a folder you choose — no account, no subscription, no proprietary storage. Delete the app and your notes are still there, readable in any editor. An iOS app is on the way.

The half‑made tools, the offcuts and the things I only built for myself sit at c31labs — public repositories, readable long before they are presentable.
Continued on another sheet
A drawing runs out of room long before the thinking does. Everything that will not fit on this sheet — the essays, the arguments, the notes I keep changing my mind about — is written up over there, under my own name rather than the practice’s.

I take on very little, and only what I would want on the bench anyway. If you have one of those — or you simply want to argue with something I have written — send me an email. It comes to me, and I answer it myself.
