What we build by
Four ruleson the wall.
They are pinned above the bench in Bristol. When a decision is hard, one of these usually settles it.
- Rule 01 / 04
Look up, not down.
Skyset is a screen that sends you outside. The tube sleeps until there is something worth seeing, then tells you where to stand and which way to face.
Tube dark between passes - Rule 02 / 04
Nothing to subscribe to.
You pay once. Predictions, alerts and weather-satellite pictures work without an account, and without Wi-Fi for 14 days at a time.
No account · no app · no fees - Rule 03 / 04
Repairable by you.
Screws, not glue. Every part has a number, and the full parts list and service manual go public the day Batch 1 ships.
T10 Torx · 23 screws · parts list public - Rule 04 / 04
Quiet by default.
One soft chime, two minutes before a pass worth seeing. No badges, no notifications, and the chime sleeps after 23:00.
3 W speaker · one chime
