A carved relief in mottled red Sikri sandstone: Kāmadeva drawing a bow of sugarcane with five flower-tipped arrows, a parrot on his wrist, a peacock fanned beside him and a fish banner on a standard, framed in carved bands of foliage and pearls.

kama.dev

A small studio that builds and runs its own software.

Everything below is something we built and still run. No mockups, no slides.

I Mathura sandstone · spotted red Sikri sandstone, carved

A Kangra Pahari miniature on burnished wasli paper: Kāmadeva among flowering trees and lotus pools in emerald, lapis and rose, with gold accents, under stylised cloud rolls.

Hermes Session Ref

Hermes Desktop plugin · MIT

Reference another Hermes session by name in the composer. No session IDs to copy, nothing injected into context.

Type @session and pick from live session titles. It inserts @session:"<title>" — a reference only. Hermes resolves it with its own search, so your context window stays clean.

The list grows as things ship. It does not get padded: if it is not finished and running, it is not here.

An Odisha Pattachitra on sized cloth: Kāmadeva beneath a flowering tree with a sugarcane bow and five flower arrows, drawn in bold black outline and filled flat with vermilion, yellow and white, inside a white creeper-flower border.

III Pattachitra · sized cloth, bold outline, opaque fill, creeper border

A Warli wall painting in white rice paste on red-ochre earth: the sacred square with the goddess at its centre, a spiral tarpa dance of figures, huts, trees, birds and a herd, with an archer figure — all built only from circles, triangles and squares.

What we build

We take work we can finish ourselves. If a job needs a team, we turn it down.

Services

Python services behind systemd on small machines. SQLite or Postgres, whichever the job needs. Capped per project, so one thing cannot take another down.

Web

Cloudflare Pages, Workers, Functions and DNS. Static pipelines that emit one self-contained page per route. Caddy with automatic TLS where a real origin is needed.

Data

RSS and content ingest: conditional GET, dedupe, clustering, feed generation. Sweeps run as oneshot units and timers, with the pacing kept as data.

Comms

Self-hosted mail — Postfix, Dovecot, OpenDKIM — plus listmonk and PocketBase. SPF, DKIM and DMARC published and verified, not assumed.

Tooling

Hermes Agent plugins and MCP tool wiring. Watchers and monitors that page a human only when something is actually wrong.

IV Warli · white rice paste on red-ochre earth

A Thanjavur painting: Kāmadeva beneath a gilded arch, raised gesso covered in burnished 22-carat gold leaf and set with cut-glass stones, against a flat deep madder background.

Tell us what you want built

One paragraph is enough. We answer everything that is not a bot.

A repo, a site, a brief.

The shape of the thing and what it has to do.

We use what you send to answer you. Nothing else.
