R0ice

Practical software for local business & live communities.

By appointment By correspondence Pressed in Indiana
No. I — Managed Websites

A site for the shop that never wanted one.

For the barbershop with hand-painted signage, the hardware store with a chalk-board out front, the family kitchen that has fed three generations. We design the page, host it on our own presses, and update it when the seasons change. The owner keeps the shears in hand. We keep the website in tune.

$99 setup  ·  $29 the month, after
No. II — Showroom

A site with a gallery that sells the work.

For the shop whose product is the picture — 3D print jobs, cabinet installs, flooring, tile, paint, cakes, tattoo, salon. Everything in the Managed Websites tier, plus a gallery block, an About paragraph, and a Request-a-Quote button wired to the shop’s inbox. Fifteen photos included at launch. Add more anytime.

No. III — GameBot for Twitch

A chatroom that plays back.

The same chatbot stack that runs in our own broadcast, made available to other streamers. Viewer currency, mini-games, raid coordination, presence tracking — assembled, hardened, and on shift around the clock. Comes with the operator on the line, not a help desk.

Custom  ·  by correspondence
No. IV — Custom Commissions

An idea no one will ship for you.

Bring the project that has been waiting on the right hands. Clinic intake forms, fungi-lab tooling, flooring estimators, video pipelines, weather-balloon dashboards — we have made all of these. Scoped per project. Quoted plainly. Built end to end.

Masterbrain — multi-model AI orchestration
A reliable-first fallback chain across eight free-tier AI providers (Groq, Cerebras, Mistral, Gemini, Cohere, AI21, and others), built to keep a twenty-four-hour build loop running when any one provider goes down. Open-sourced for other operators who refuse to be married to a single model.

A.D. 2026 · Daily Since June
The Bulk Uploader Stack
A single drop into a folder publishes one daily clip to YouTube and three social channels in a two-hour review window — CapCut to a Windows watcher to the VPS, then handed off to a scheduler that posts at the right hour. Designed so a streamer's daily content goes out without a desk shift.
A.D. 2026 · Lab in Constructionin build
R0ice Fungi — Pink Oyster & Microgreens, Vertical-Integrated
Eight years of mycology study, now a working lab. Liquid culture to grain to bulk substrate to harvest, all in house. Custom PETG fruiting chambers designed in Blender and OpenSCAD. Dual track: gourmet mushroom production and microgreen yields, both on the same humidity-controlled stack.
