The Red Frontier
Five modes.
One moving system.
A practical loop for turning a fuzzy brief into software people can feel.
Research & Knowledge Synthesis
Structured thinking before the first line of code.
Ideation & Mapping: Markdown notes in Obsidian for requirements and logic flows.
AI-Assisted Synthesis: NotebookLM to synthesise research and map the architecture.
Architecture & Stack Selection
Tools picked for developer experience and end-user speed.
The Frontend Engine: React and Next.js with Tailwind; React Native and Expo for mobile.
Database & Backend Strategy: Supabase Postgres with real-time; SQLite for offline-first mobile.
Vibe Coding & AI Integration
Fast, AI-augmented iteration on hard problems.
AI-Driven Environments: Cursor IDE and Claude Code to generate, test and refine features.
Local Agents & Automation: OpenClaw and custom toolkits take care of the routine work.
Continuous Analysis & Refactoring
A project doesn't end when it compiles.
Build Comparisons: Each build measured against the last for bottlenecks and friction.
Performance Tuning: Leaner state, Web Workers for latency, cleaner component trees.
Deployment & Iteration
Solid architecture, refined code, then production.
Delivery: Modern hosting takes it from local to live without friction.
Feedback Loops: Real-world performance data shapes the next cycle.
