delulu-lab

Where delulu becomes solulu — idea greenhouse and graveyard.

👉 Browse the live pipeline — this page (and the stage pages below) contain Jekyll templating that only renders correctly there, not in GitHub’s plain file view.

A running log of ideas: some raw, some cooking, some shipped, some quietly composting. This repo exists so ideas have somewhere to live besides a notes app graveyard — and so I can actually see the pipeline instead of losing track of what stage things are in.

Structure

Every idea is a directory with a README.md, filed under whichever stage folder matches where it’s at:

delulu-lab/
├── raw/
│   └── idea-slug/
│       └── README.md
├── exploring/
│   └── idea-slug/
│       └── README.md
├── active/
├── launched/
├── archived/
└── README.md            # you are here

Status labels

Every idea’s stage is just which folder it lives in:

Label Meaning
🌱 raw Just a thought. Unfiltered, unproven, delulu by default.
🔍 exploring Actively poking at it — research, sketches, early prototype.
⚙️ active In real development. Has momentum.
🚀 launched Out in the world, shipped, live.
🗄️ archived Parked, killed, or superseded. Delulu that didn’t become solulu — and that’s fine.

Philosophy

Not every idea needs to survive. The point of this repo isn’t a perfect hit rate — it’s making the raw → active → launched (or archived) journey visible, so ideas don’t just evaporate in a notes app. If it graduates, great. If it gets archived, it still did its job: it got thought through instead of forgotten.

Adding a new idea

  1. mkdir raw/idea-slug and write a README.md inside with front matter: 
    ---
title: Idea Name
created: YYYY-MM-DD
blurb: One-line summary.
---
  2. It starts in raw
  3. As it moves through the pipeline, move the whole folder into the matching stage: git mv raw/idea-slug exploring/idea-slug
  4. Let it graduate to launched, or die with dignity in archived
