foundr.lol — full features

The open research lab. Half-finished experiments, broken first drafts, dead branches. Vote, fork, sponsor — or just watch. Failed experiments are public and required.

Pricing

Free via X. Solo at indie prices. Pro when you scale.

Same pricing model across the whole foundr.* family. No per-seat math. No enterprise quote theater.

What you get

Every feature, grouped by who it's for.

Core

Experiment cards (title, one-liner, status badge, maker, vote count)
Status state machine: soon → active → graduated | dead (post-mortem required on dead)
Demo link — live URL or embedded iframe
Fork link (GitHub template / Replit / HF Space duplicate)
Upvote + threaded comments
Public chronological lab-wide log (RSS + JSON)
Per-experiment archive page that persists after kill
Per-experiment sponsor button (Stripe one-time + recurring)

Agentic-first (MCP + token)

lol_list(status?, tag?) — discover experiments
lol_get(slug) — full experiment + log + sponsors
lol_subscribe(slug) — agent-side webhook on new commits / status changes
lol_vote(slug, weight) — tier-weighted (Free=1, Solo=3, Pro=10)
lol_fork(slug) — return clone-ready repo URL + setup script
lol_post_update(slug, markdown) — makers' agents auto-publish progress notes

Solo-founder-shaped

Hard cap: 1 maker per experiment (no team theater)
6-week default lifetime → forced graduate-or-kill decision
No private roadmap — only shipped log entries
"Built in public" badge auto-awarded after N public log entries
Solo-founder profile aggregating all experiments + graduation rate

Agentic-first

The MCP surface your agents call.

Why this differs

The angles the incumbents won't ship.

01
Failure shown openly. status: dead is a first-class badge with a required post-mortem field.
02
Solo-shaped scope cap. Max-team-size 1, max lifetime 6 weeks. Cuts the vanity-update vapor-startup trap.
03
Agent-readable via MCP. Every list / get / vote / subscribe op is an MCP tool, not just REST.
04
Graduation as the explicit success metric. Experiments leave when they earn their own foundr.* subdomain.
05
Vote-weight as a paid perk. Tier multiplier turns voting into real signal vs. Pioneer's gameable 1-vote.

Competitive landscape

Who's already here, and what they leave on the table.

Honest comparison. We do not pretend the space is empty.
