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.
