Compare Basic

Mission

Real technology does not cut costs, it employs more workers to solve more problems. Solving problems requires better tools, we are building those tools.

Our tools are called Caneka, followed by Email2Site, and eventually Forc, and Fool.

Caneka, OverEasy UX, Seriously Human

The Objectives of this company are:

It's early for the system, but a demonstration of progress is available here.

Technology

Caneka - the Glass-Bottom-Boat runtime

What could you do if you knew what happened between your programming language and the hardware?

Caneka is a full-stack + web-server + database replacement for a web development runtime. Based entirely on simplistic components written from scratch in C.

Seriously Human

The guiding intention of this framework is to have:"a few thousand employees, in a few thousand years."

The intention behind this phrase is to create the foundation for a large organization without working so hard that we burn out. It also favours knowledge sharing that can outlive the founder(s) and bring long-term meaning and purpose to all employees and customers. read more.

Roadmap

Prototype Phase

January 2024-January 2025 (Complete)

This has spanned business conceptual development and language tools and runtime development. BasicTypes and Caneka are in their VIth and final iteration, with CycleServe and Templang on their IIIrd of V expected generations before production. The Roebling Parser and Span Store have been the unifying features which round out our Cycle Oriented Programming toolset. Both of these components emerged between in March and June of 2024, along with Templang and the rest of the Caneka ecosystem.

See the our system status on the Caneka github repository for updates and progress.

Prototype Phase II

January 2025 - December 2025

The early performance issues raised from building the feature-set of a first product, combined with the founders need to seek a day-job, led to a second round of innovation. The new system is much more performant and concise. And I am now moving onto the phase of assembling user-interface features. A demo is available to view at code.comparebasic.com.

See the our system status on the Caneka github repository for updates and progress.

First Product: Email2Site

mid 2026 to 2028

Email2Site utalizes the easiest market that has been underserved for generating revenue to sustain the company: the cross-over of email and web technologies.

Code Editor: Caneka Tools

expected in 2026

The caneka langauge editor will start as an environment for writing and visualizing Caneka code, that builds into visualizing and editing all common languages. This endeavor is designed to be the monitization strategy for the open source language, as well as build langauge analysis as the driver of our next product that is focused on runtime analysis.

Data Visualization: Forc Family of Products

expected in 2027

DataVisualization for managerial-accounting and team dynamics products.

Auditing Tools: Fool Family of Products

expected in 2028

This family of product is design to audit and visualize Large-Langauge-Models and other Algorithmic based products. For the purpose of validating the safety, accuracy, and source of insights provided by these systems. This Builds on the runtime analysis expertise from the Caneka editor, which will span all popular languages by this time. The monetization strategy is expected to be a partnership with insurance companies in the business space for a reduced premium in exchange for greater certainty of safety.

Message From the Founder

Hi, I'm Firecrow Silvernight, I'm building a set of tools and then a set of products that can save us all from en-shit-ification! Compare Basic is a "Back to Basics" system to build high-quality user experience products.

It was conceived to heal the wounds I experienced in the software industry and business world, and has become so much more. I've been building the Caneka runtime since 2024, working day-jobs between raises, and generally scheming to improve the world around me.
