An IDE is no longer something you buy. We built ours.

Counting the reasons an IDE still stayed open left four: reviewing diffs, committing by hand, reading Markdown, and reading code. If the AI does the writing, everything we pay for on the writing side is waste. So we built our own macOS-native environment, Wisp, around those four jobs — 40 MB resident, 0.2 s to launch, and everything it frees up goes to the AI.

The docs-kit post-mortem — design docs did not save tokens

The docs-kit post-mortem — design docs did not save tokens

About a week after its July 30 release, we called docs-kit a failure. The effect we aimed for — letting an AI read design docs efficiently and saving tokens — never arrived; instead, 63% of all commits went into keeping the documents in sync. Here is what we got wrong, and where we could have noticed. We publish the record as primary material for anyone trying to solve the same problem.

We've added docs-kit to Labs — a design-doc manager for AI-assisted coding

We have published docs-kit, built in-house, on Labs: a design-doc management tool for AI-assisted coding. An AI does not question a design document, so a stale one acts as a wrong instruction. docs-kit judges freshness from git history and lets an AI open only the documents that matter — cutting both rework and tokens.

The paradigm shift AI coding brings

A small venture ships something new; a large company rebuilds it with capital and buys the market with advertising. That was the pattern for a long time. Now that AI has driven the cost of implementation down, the premise is breaking — and in a price war still fought in person-months, the smaller fixed cost wins.

Announcing Tonograph, our own product

We are building Tonograph, a tablature editor for macOS. Today we published its product site, tonograph.app, ahead of the app itself. You write tab — and play it back through a pedalboard you build yourself.

We've renewed our corporate site

We've fully renewed noop.co.jp. The concept: "show the running system, as it is." Not a page you read about a company, but a site like peering into a live console.

We've renewed our corporate site

We've fully renewed noop.co.jp. The concept: "show the running system, as it is." Not a page you read about a company, but a site like peering into a live console.

We've renewed our corporate site

We've fully renewed noop.co.jp. The theme: "show the running system, as it is."

The company as one system

What we build, day to day, are systems that keep running. So we wanted our own site to be less a brochure and more a live console — and designed it that way. The UPTIME at the top has been counting since the day the company was founded.

What's next

Case studies (CASE) and update logs (STDOUT) will be added from the CMS over time. With this renewal, the site now supports both Japanese and English. We'll also output notes from our development work here in STDOUT, little by little.

Not "built and done." This site, too, we keep running.

CONCEPT

We present the company itself as a running system. The UPTIME at the top has been counting since our founding day.

NEXT

Cases and posts are added from the CMS over time. With this renewal, the site now supports both Japanese and English.
