📝 Notes

Open Source vs Proprietary:

• Most tools listed are open source unless marked as (proprietary)
• Preference is given to open-source solutions where possible
• Proprietary AI tools are used where open-source alternatives are not yet competitive

Stack Philosophy:

• Svelte-first for frontend development
• ICP/Motoko for decentralized backend
• Python for automation and data processing
• Self-hosted infrastructure where practical
