Grain Tracker
The Grain Tracker is the meta-project: a live dashboard that shows everything Grainworks is working on in one place. Think of it as the status board in a workshop — a glance tells you what’s active, what’s blocked, what’s shipping, and what’s on deck.
Why
Stuart said it himself: “I don’t have a visual reference for any of this in one place.”
The individual projects (robot, watering system, FlipOff, SOUL.md) each have their own files, specs, research, and build notes scattered across the filesystem. The Grain Tracker is the single pane of glass that pulls them together.

Files
This page is the tracker. It lives at /projects/grain-tracker/ on grainworks.tech.
Future iterations could include:
- An auto-generated status page from project metadata
- A visual timeline showing project evolution over time
- Links to associated research, photos, and build logs
Status → Active
This page is the first version of the tracker. It will be updated as projects progress — each new build, research finding, or deployment updates the status board.
