COMPILE + RUNTIME / PASSED · FOUNDATION / v0.2.7

Experimental safety check. The supplied source contains a deletePhotos action after its confirmation alert. Test with backed-up or disposable photos.

// Re-ProRAW — Converted HEIF Size Probe v0.2.8
// Status: EXPERIMENTAL — compile and runtime verification required (Passed)
// Protected foundation: Re-ProRAW v0.2.7
// New behavior: retrieve raw file size from one converted HEIF.
// Safety: Creates converted copies only. Never deletes originals.

02 / THE LAB

Questions with
a record.

Tests, evidence and useful failures behind the projects.

Open The Lab
DLX-001 / IOSGRADUATED

HEIF Conversion Baseline

Can an Apple Shortcut convert selected ProRAW images into high-quality HEIF copies, save them to an album and preserve the originals?

DLX-002 / IOSPROVEN

Converted HEIF Size Probe

Can Shortcuts retrieve the resulting file size of a converted HEIF without modifying the original photograph?

DLX-003 / PHOTOGRAPHYPROVEN

Public Photo Derivative Privacy

Can the Photo Archive serve sharp responsive images without publishing original files or embedded location metadata?

DLX-004 / SKYGRADUATED

SkyOps Safety Gate + Eclipse Signal

Can SkyOps keep strong astronomical potential separate from unsafe observing conditions while still surfacing a relevant lunar eclipse?

DLX-005 / SCIENCEGRADUATED

Light-Travel Perspective Engine

Can ordinary distance inputs become an intuitive explanation of how far into the past we are seeing?

DLX-006 / PHOTOGRAPHYGRADUATED

Astrophotography Exposure Model

Can camera, lens, sensor and sky-position inputs produce useful exposure guidance without presenting an estimate as certainty?

DLX-007 / SCIENCEGRADUATED

Black Hole Scale Model V1

Can black-hole mass be translated into horizon size, light-crossing time and scale comparisons without hiding model assumptions?

DLX-008 / SKYGRADUATED

Milky Way Core Planning

Can core visibility, darkness and Moon interference produce a useful photography window?

DLX-009 / SKYGRADUATED

Evidence Before Recommendations

Can missing, stale or incompatible inputs stay visible without becoming a confident recommendation?

DLX-010 / SKYGRADUATED

Modeled Skyglow at the Selected Site

Can a light-pollution atlas add useful site context without being presented as a live measurement or Bortle rating?

DLX-011 / RESEARCHPAUSED

Atmospheric Seeing Evidence

Can a dedicated seeing forecast add optical-turbulence evidence without inventing it from surface wind?

DLX-012 / SKYGRADUATED

Nearby Observing Locations

Can nearby mapped places be assessed without mistaking a map listing for verified nighttime access?

DLX-013 / SKYGRADUATED

Mission, Time and Location Trade-offs

Can observing plans compare time and place without letting one overall score obscure the selected mission?

DLX-014 / SCIENCEGRADUATED

Local Planetary Geometry

Can five planets be evaluated locally against an independent ephemeris reference?

DLX-015 / INTERFACEGRADUATED

Interactive Horizon Through the Night

Can a mobile horizon view connect sky position, forecast coverage and observing windows as time changes?

DLX-016 / GAME TOOLSPROVEN

Attachment Compatibility Without Invented Stats

Can a game loadout builder and reference view agree about attachment compatibility?

DLX-017 / GAME TOOLSPROVEN

Independent Side-by-side Game Comparisons

Can both comparison panels support the same configuration controls without sharing selection state?

DLX-018 / PHOTOGRAPHYPROVEN

Publication Copies and Original Preservation

Can a publishing workflow generate inspected image copies while retaining the source photograph?

DLX-019 / ENGINEERINGPROVEN

Honest History Charts

Can a compact history view show recorded trends without turning missing samples into healthy-looking values?

03 / OPERATING METHOD

There was probably
an easier way.

That does not mean it would have answered the interesting question.

01

BUILD

Turn the idea into something usable.

02

TEST

Find out what actually works.

03

BREAK

Push until the weak points become obvious.

04

IMPROVE

Preserve what works. Change what does not.

05 / ABOUT

Regular guy.
Irregular hobbies.

I’m Rob. This is where games, automation, photography and whatever catches my attention turn into things worth keeping or sharing.

Mostly, I’m here to have fun making things and maybe help someone along the way.
