Original marks, a shared setting.

The rounded-square aperture, earlier abstract sculptures, architectural scenes, and interface SVGs were authored for App Automaton. The model collection uses the CC0 Studio Small 09 lighting environment by Sergej Majboroda. The browser receives finished, compressed images rather than a 3D engine.

A point of reference.

Floema inspired the spatial composition, generous type, and editorial rhythm. Its photographs, product images, fonts, and illustrations are not used here.

Collected at the source.

Project facts come from the public App Automaton GitHub organization. The page refreshes daily and on demand. Project websites, source repositories, structured data, and discovery files share the same catalog. Art assignments are curated separately, with spare objects available for new projects.

Room for every reader.

The complete catalog works without JavaScript. Motion is optional and follows device preferences. Every project link is a normal, followable HTML link. The catalog illustrations have concise image descriptions, while repeated previews and ambient backgrounds remain decorative.
