Some people see what a business needs. Some love making things work. Here, they can
learn from each other.

Come with curiosity.
Read, ask questions, try an idea or find a collaborator. You can begin with an
ordinary problem and a paper sketch. No membership fee or client project is required.
Find a starting point → When an opportunity becomes work
Two ways to work together.
01 / Build with us A shared project.
Bring a real opportunity, help deliver it, or teach the people who will use it.
For a founder-led engagement, agree your fee or share for that contribution before
work starts.
02 / Build your own Your client. Your practice.
Lead your own engagement and choose your collaborators. If you need help with
LychD, discuss optional paid core support with the founder.
Client responsibility, scope, payment basis and support are agreed for each project.
There is no automatic percentage or payment for recruiting members. Technical
readiness and support scope must be confirmed.
Open projects and private commissions.
For projects led by Mechanimous, agreed development can be free when the reusable
implementation becomes open source. Confidential custom work is paid. A client fee
waiver does not change contributors’ agreed pay. Independent teams set their own
client terms.
The agreement names what is delivered and published. Hosting, other services, training
and support are priced separately unless included. Client data stays private; names
and case stories need separate publication permission.
And the mage, the book, the story?
The imagery belongs to the philosophical world of the Hexanomicon: learning, agency
and the long work of building. Explore it, question it, or simply enjoy creating
something. You do not need to share a worldview to take part.
