We use the network to gather the data.
But the intelligence runs on your metal.
Fluid Fortune is an independent forge dedicated to building mindful, useful tech. We understand the importance of large systems while also seeing their inner ironies. We operate under a core philosophy: the internet should be a resource, not a dependency, and one should never take it too seriously.
We build tools for the era of private intelligence. You connect to the network to download the payload, but if you choose, the compute itself can stay entirely on your machine. Living by the subscription model should be a choice, not a requirement.
The jester was the only person in the room allowed to tell the king he was wrong. We build the tools. We write the dispatches. We deliver the roast. The bells on the hat are load-bearing.
The first general-purpose operating system for the ESP32-S3 hardware class. A $50 device running a dual-core OS with 47 applications, a Ghost Partition security system, passive wardriving on Core 0, local AI inference, LoRa mesh radio, GPS, and an ELF module runtime for third-party app deployment — all without reflashing. Six novel engineering problems solved. None had documented solutions before this project.
A local AI assistant that runs entirely on your own hardware. No API keys. No data leaving your machine. You talk to it through a web browser, but the intelligence lives in your RAM. Customizable to your needs and buildable to your preferred platform. It's a coder. It's a marketing materials maker. It's a mind mapping assistant. It just needs to be trained. Don't bend to the will of AI. Make AI bend to the will of you.
RF intelligence analysis platform for wardriving datasets. Drop in a WiGLE-format CSV and get a full intelligence picture — interactive heatmap, anomaly detection, OUI vendor enrichment, persistent device tracking, and export-ready reports. No installation. No server. One HTML file.
A highly quantized, localized AI trained exclusively to deliver terrible 1970s hardware puns. This is a living proof-of-concept for the Fluid Fortune architecture. WozBot isn't hosted in a corporate data center; he is running on a bare-metal micro-node within our private perimeter, piped to the web via a secure tunnel. No cloud compute was harmed in the making of this joke.
A lightweight, GitHub-native blog editor that runs as a single HTML file in your browser. Write posts in a clean word-processor-style interface, then publish directly to your GitHub Pages blog with one click. No server. No install. No subscription. No bloat.
The universal deployment wrapper. A framework that turns local AI and web-based interfaces into native, installable applications across macOS, Windows, Linux, Android, and iOS.
Public GIT to follow. For examples of how Trojan Horse works in practice right now, check out the platform builds inside The Phantom repository.
A lightweight, GitHub-native podcast publisher that runs as a single HTML file in your browser. Add episodes, generate show pages, and publish valid RSS feeds directly to your GitHub Pages podcast site with one click. No server. No install. No subscription.
A philosophical and technical account of what Fluid Fortune is, why it exists, what has been built, and where it is going. Written for anyone curious enough to ask — from the non-technical reader to the hiring manager to the developer who wants to understand the architecture. Updated as the project develops.
We don't just build tools. We have opinions about the world those tools exist in. Tech, AI, hardware, software, pop culture, politics, philosophy, music — and the wonderfully terrifying way it all blends together.
VIDEO CHANNEL
A satirical teardown of Silicon Valley's broken promises, data harvesting, and cloud-based grifts. We point out the absurdities of the tech space; Fluid Fortune builds the cure.

Built something? Ship it to us. We'll tear it apart on camera — the business model, the name, the pitch deck font choices, all of it. Publicly. With witnesses.
Here's the thing though: Weird Al parodied "Smells Like Teen Spirit" and Nirvana loved it. Getting roasted means you're worth roasting. If we come for your product, that's not an insult — that's a signal.
