Archon Labs10 — Ten concept products

Two shipped products is an honest answer to what has been released, and a poor answer to what can be built. So the rest was built too — ten complete product concepts, designed and engineered here, running in your browser. They are not client work and they never pretend to be.

A prototype built by Archon Soft. Not a client project, not a shipped product, and every record inside it is sample data.

Experiments3 / Running

Separately from the concepts, three interface experiments that are simply running. No product around them and no argument attached — they are here because they were worth building.

EXP 001Interaction

Displacement field

A field of points that yields to the pointer and settles back. A test of how much feedback an interface can give before the feedback becomes the content. Move over it, or drag on a touch screen.

Drag across the field
EXP 002Interface

Generative composition

A deterministic layout generator: every composition comes from a seed, so the same number always draws the same thing. Press the button and it draws another.

SEED 3194804353
EXP 003Motion

Scroll cadence

Type that reads the velocity of your scroll and answers it. Used to find where motion aids comprehension and where it is only noise — scroll this page and watch the readout.

  1. L/01Product

    How much of a social product can be decided before launch?

    Almost none of the interesting parts. Meetzy answered questions in its first weeks that no amount of planning would have settled, which is an argument for shipping narrow rather than for planning harder.

    In progress
  2. L/02Performance

    What is a millisecond actually worth?

    Perceived speed is mostly sequencing, not throughput. Measuring where deliberate delay improves comprehension and where every frame of latency is pure cost.

    In progress
  3. L/03Interface

    Can an admin panel be a product rather than a leftover?

    The people who use it every day are users too, and they never get a design. Working on patterns that make an operations surface worth opening.

    Open
  4. L/04Applied intelligence

    What does an interface owe you when the model is unsure?

    Confidence is a design problem, not a model problem. Looking for patterns that show uncertainty honestly and make the correction path faster than the accept path.

    Open
  5. L/05Automation

    Can automation stay legible?

    An automated process nobody can inspect is a liability with good margins. Prototyping tooling where every automated decision leaves a trail a non-engineer can audit.

Scope, constraints, budget, timing. No pitch deck.
