Ever since our start at an all-night hackathon ten years ago, we've loved making stuff--stuff that's open, and stuff that helps further the cause of universal Open Science. Since then, we've made a lot of stuff--some pretty successful, some less so. But we've learned from it all, and we're glad to still be here, doing our bit as best we can.
This page lists our major projects. Most of them are still ongoing, although a few were one-off grant-funded projects that have now concluded. Naturally, the source code and datasets behind all these tools are fully open. The grant applications and reports for these projects are published on Open Grants. If you're interested in learning more about any of these projects, click through to their respective websites, which generally have a lot more info.
