BakBeat Labs is the public development log for BakBeat.
Additionally, this site will link to other random projects we feel are truthful we’ve built outside of BakBeat.
This site documents the engineering decisions, architectural changes, device experiments, and failures behind the product.
BakBeat itself lives at bakbeat.com.
BakBeat Labs exists to show the work.
