Pact

Web app

Group habit challenges with a live leaderboard. Friends join a group with a six-character PIN and compete on five daily habits.

• The group votes on five shared habits, or each member picks their own five.
• A done habit is a point and a perfect day adds a bonus; the table updates live.
• Spot-checks and timed habits keep the honor system honest.

Open Pact

explainer-engine

Explainer pipeline

An automated pipeline that researches, scripts, narrates and renders 40 to 60 second true-crime explainers, only about cases a court has closed, such as a conviction or a guilty plea, never an open investigation.

• JSON-driven Remotion compositions render vertical 1080x1920 video.
• Scripts are written from a pinned Wikipedia article and checked claim by claim before rendering.
• Narration is generated with ElevenLabs and timed word by word to the picture.

shorts-engine

Video pipeline

A self-hosted pipeline that turns long-form video, such as podcasts, interviews and streams, into vertical 9:16 shorts with word-timed captions.

• Transcribes with Whisper, detects the active speaker and frames the shot around their face.
• Cuts between wide and close shots on speaker changes and emphasis, like a hand-edited clip.
• An autopilot finds new uploads from tracked channels and publishes on a fixed daily schedule.
