Product launch · StellarView alpha · Oct 25, 2026
StellarView is in alpha
StellarView builds a company's cloud, pipeline, board, tests, documentation and training films, then runs them. This is the film it made of itself: One of a billion.
The film ends on a dare
Or dare us.
Our launch film ended on a dare: bring us the project nobody has started. These are the dares so far, and how far each one has got.

Dare 2: Bring your biggest idea

How it works, in six steps
-
01
See it
It reads a codebase out of its own repository and draws it as rings, one ring per architectural layer, every system labelled.
-
02
Plan it
Your documents go into the Big Bang. On the RealWorld Conduit build, one document came out as a full plan, and every question it would not answer for itself went to a person.
Watch: The plan, and its questions · 5:06 → Source: StellarView Alpha, part one →
-
03
Build it
The phases run unattended on your own repositories, a branch and a pull request per phase, each stacked on the one before.
Watch: The run · 3:24 → Source: StellarView Alpha, part three →
-
04
Launch it
It deploys to the cloud, and a launch can say no: one unit was held at its checks while the others went.
Watch: Launch day · 5:36 → Source: Show HN: the whole horse →
-
05
Run it together
People and agents work in the same rooms on one record. In the sprint’s meetings, a claim that does not cite a fact is struck before it is said.
Watch: One sprint · 7:27 → Source: Every claim cites a fact →
-
06
Hand it over
It stays on your repositories, your issues, your board and your wiki. The published RealWorld suite passes thirteen of thirteen, and it comes with its own support desk.

The skill first, then the app
Few AI products connect what they do to the knowledge of the SDLC. Ours are worked examples of it, and the skill comes first.

It is still you.
AI writes code. A chatbot will not build an enterprise, and the SDLC will not learn itself.
Bring your documents Start learning Bring your documents See one sprint, on the record Talk to Joe Why we built it →We hand over an enterprise platform, not a prototype: the repository, its record and the running system, with your team trained in the meetings it already holds.
You see it built and running before you pay anything. The engagement can be included in the cost of the product.
