Build faster.
Stay slippery.
lube.ink is a small lab for shipping human+AI tools: clean interfaces, tight workflows, and projects that reduce friction so hard it feels like cheating.
What is this?
A home for experiments that turn messy intent into clean execution: routing, automation, fast typing interfaces, and tools that keep you moving.
Principles
Reduce friction.
Ship small.
Stay honest.
No bloated bullshit.
Vibe
Minimal surface. Sharp edges. Quiet confidence. (And a tiny bit of chaos, because it’s fun.)
Why “lube”?
Because the best tools disappear. They reduce friction so hard you stop noticing them. The job is the outcome — not the interface.
Active builds
These are the lanes. We can link real pages as they appear.
ex9lab / Lube Gateway
A unified interface that routes between models/tools (OpenAI, Anthropic, Google, etc.), with a searchable archive and automation hooks.
AXIS
A shorthand-based human→AI interface for fast, private, intent-aware interaction. Less typing, more control.
SMASHBOT
An operations agent for permit coordination: intake, workflow tracking, code interpretation, and comms — reliably, relentlessly.
Morning Brief
A simple daily page that wakes you up: time, weather, focus, and a “giggle” button because being human matters.
Want in?
If you’re building tools that reduce friction, I’m listening. Keep it simple. Keep it real. Ship.
