Independent Tool Studio
About Make Your Own Tools
Make Your Own Tools is an independent collection of planning apps for technical buying and deployment decisions. Each app starts from the constraints that change the outcome, makes the calculation or decision rule visible, and produces a practical brief for the next check.
Method
Visible assumptions, deterministic calculations, source registries, regression tests, and a defined next decision.
Systems
NAS, Docker, and off-grid solar paths for capacity, deployment, resilience, and recovery decisions.
Workloads
LLM memory and 3D printing paths for workload fit, material preparation, and resource planning.
How the Site Is Maintained
The site uses static Astro pages and focused browser-side planners so pages remain fast and the calculation path stays inspectable. Planner inputs remain in the browser unless a feature explicitly retrieves public upstream data, such as a model configuration.
Technical claims are connected to maintained source registries and review dates. Formula changes pass regression tests, while upstream changes are monitored so the affected decision rules can be reviewed deliberately.
Shopping and support links remain secondary to the result. When a page includes a commercial relationship, it is disclosed clearly; the planning logic and specification checks remain independent of the destination.
