Synergetics Isle in Alpha

Synergetics is a pivot to tilt where civilization is headed. Making it beautiful and functional for today's humans was a pending task. This is my attempt at it.

'Synergetics Isle' is a codename for a project I've been working on since about an year now, on and off. Buckminster Fuller published his magnum opus, 'Synergetics' in 1970s. It was then OCR'd by R. W. Gray by the beginning of 2000s. It is currently online at: R. Buckminster Fuller's Synergetics. Synergetics Isle is a reincarnation of it.

I thought it would be ready by the end of Feb, but some family and other matters came up - of the good kind, and the project got delayed a bit. After I was done with the basic replication of the original resource, and had it checked across various variables like headings, links, italics, and other corrections, I thought I was done.

Then I tripped on the pandora's box. GitHub, Quartz, UX, Domain, Cloudflare, Bank, AI, and so on. All interdependent on each other. All things I barely understand. Somehow I've been enjoying the mess. The site is nowhere where I need it to be, but I deployed it anyway. You can find the timeline and to-dos on GitHub: GitHub - rohanshu-dev/synergetics-isle

Because I'd been mostly building it by myself, and nobody knew about it, I'm yet to fully articulate why I began and why I think it matters. So much so that even I'm forgetting. This blog post was me trying to do the same. Hopefully as the site gets better, we'll both find out. It's in Alpha currently, you can find it here: Buckminster Fuller's Synergetics
