Less promise.
More proof.
NOD should do three things exceptionally well: let you ask, capture and stay in control. These are the concrete steps towards that — and the bigger ideas worth exploring next.
These are targets and test criteria, not a count of completed features.
A Cardputer ADV and PC hub have documented Wi-Fi and update functionality. Current end-to-end physical testing remains an open gate.
Real tests, explicit action permissions and a simpler first-use experience before expanding the app catalogue.
Saved-video analysis and Reel-to-Print are proposed workflows, not working integrations today.
From idea to evidence.
Choose a stage, or show the whole plan. Every package includes the proof we need before calling it complete.
21 work packages shown · Planning targets, not delivered features
Trust & proof
Make the physical promise dependable. Before more features, verify the device and its human-control boundaries.
- 01OPEN TEST
Permission decisions with boundaries

PROOF REQUIREDReal voice trials measure wait times and error recovery. - 09OPEN TEST
Capture into a real result
Turn a thought into a saved source, project task and user-reviewed output.
PROOF REQUIREDA captured idea survives a restart and leads to an auditable result. - 10OPEN TEST
Reliable offline recovery
Queue and safely retry saves when Wi-Fi or the PC goes down.
PROOF REQUIREDNo lost captures or duplicate actions in controlled recovery tests. - 11OPEN TEST
A genuine first-use guide
Help people pair the device, connect their PC, test audio and recover setup.
PROOF REQUIREDFour of five new users reach their first successful capture unaided. - 12OPEN TEST
Releases you can roll back
Verify build, hash, size and version before updating the device.
PROOF REQUIREDA failed update is recoverable on real hardware. - 14OPEN TEST
One source of product truth
Align repos, old branches and feature descriptions with verified releases.
PROOF REQUIREDA new collaborator can find the active build and proof quickly.
The creative frontier
The memorable Kickstarter stories — but only when source access and actual physical integration are proved.
- 13OPEN TEST
Docked and power-aware mode
Explore a calm always-ready desk presence without sacrificing battery or audio.
PROOF REQUIREDMeasured power improvements on the real handheld. - 17OPEN TEST
Saved-video importer
Bring legitimately accessible saved clips or creator links into a private library.
PROOF REQUIREDReal imported video content, provenance and honest link-only failures. - 18OPEN TEST
Video Vault and Feed DNA
Understand speech, scenes and text from media, then build searchable, timestamped knowledge.
PROOF REQUIREDAccurate cited answers backed by real video frames and audio. - 19OPEN TEST
Ask NOD about that Reel
Use the device to retrieve a saved tip and turn it into a practical brief.
PROOF REQUIREDOne voice question returns a correct saved-video reference. - 20OPEN TEST
Reel-to-model detective
Find the original creator-linked STL/3MF before offering verified similar models.
PROOF REQUIREDCandidate matches show their source, licence and evidence. - 21OPEN TEST
Slice-to-print handoff
Check the model and actual printer profile, preview the slice and prepare a safe print job.
PROOF REQUIREDA file reaches the print queue; a person inspects and starts the printer.
Ready for backers
Turn a personal working prototype into something someone can confidently support.
- 15OPEN TEST
A proof-led launch page
Replace illustrations with recorded, repeatable demonstrations and genuine interest signals.
PROOF REQUIREDReal footage, clear limitations and a tested opt-in signup. - 16OPEN TEST
Hardware and delivery economics
Validate the physical product, price, supplier, safety, shipping and support plans.
PROOF REQUIREDA documented product choice and credible cost and fulfilment evidence.
Before we say
it works.
Real media, not guessed links. Video analysis must access the actual audio and visual content with permission and traceable sources.
Real hardware, not a render. Video demos must show the Cardputer and PC performing the workflow in the physical world.
A person decides. AI can propose a model and prepare G-code. A printer never starts without a deliberate, informed owner decision.
Make the economics real. Supply, support, compliance and shipping must be backed by evidence before any Kickstarter reward is offered.
See the ambition.
Watch the proof arrive.
There is no launch date, order page or reward price yet. We would rather publish a real result than a confident-looking progress percentage.
