I spent years designing relational schemas with the tools a large company buys, and years watching everyone outside the licence do without. The tools were good. The arrangement was not: the person who spots an error in the model is rarely the person allowed to correct it.

Three times in two years I went looking for something the whole data office could use. Each time the answer was a trial week, a crippled community edition, or a self-hosted build with the useful parts removed. So I built the thing I had been looking for and put the source next to it.

The longer version of that story is on the front page, including what finally made it possible to build alone.

Two different invitations. They are separate on purpose — the tool is not a funnel for the studio.

Contribute to the tool

If you want to build on Alex Architect — inside this repository, on features you care about — say so. Bug reports and feature requests are welcome too, and I read them as time allows.

Startup studio

Build something new

Separately from this project, I look for engineers and co-founders for new ventures. If that is the conversation you want, it starts in the same place.
