zyxworks.github.io

The open source index for ZyxWorks.

One page, listing the tools the studio built for its own work and gave away. Live at zyxworks.github.io.

What is listed here

MurmurFlow	Press-to-talk dictation that runs on your own machine. Hold a key, say it, let go, and the words land at your cursor in any app. macOS and Windows. Source
Agent Office	Four coding agents in one tmux window, each in its own git worktree. The one that has stopped and is waiting on you says so on its border. Source

Both came out of Zyx, the OS the studio runs on. Each one keeps its own product page in its own repo under docs/, so a tool and the page selling it ship together and can never drift apart. This repo owns the index, nothing else. It used to own the host's robots.txt as well, because it used to serve the host root; see the note below for what the repo rename changed.

How it is built

index.html plus three self-hosted woff2 files. That is the whole site: 54 kB, no build step, no framework, no package manager, no Google Fonts request, nothing to run before deploying and nothing that can rot between deploys. GitHub Pages serves the repo root on every push to main.

The same rule holds on the two product pages, and it is the same promise the products themselves make: a page selling a tool that phones home to nobody should not phone home either.

Design decisions live in comments inside index.html, next to the code they explain: why the site is dark only, why the backdrop field has a separate narrow placement for phones, why it is served from a personal account rather than an organisation.

A note on the robots policy

The site is deliberately not indexed yet, and both halves of that are on purpose:

• robots.txt lets Googlebot and Bingbot crawl. Blocking a crawler cannot remove a URL from an index, it only freezes whatever is already in there.
• the noindex meta tag in the HTML is what actually removes the page, and a crawler has to be let in to read it.
• everyone else, AI crawlers included, is disallowed on all paths.

Lift this once there is a proper Impressum. Any new page in this repo needs the same two tags, or it becomes the one indexed page here.

This file is back at the host root. A user site has to be the repo named <owner>.github.io, and under the personal account this repo was a project page whose robots.txt the host never read. Owned by the ZyxWorks organization it is that organization's user site, so zyxworks.github.io/robots.txt is served and the "everyone else, stay out" rule covers the host and its sibling project pages again (/murmurflow, /agent-office).

Where this comes from

ZyxWorks is a product studio and forward deployed engineering practice. These are the things we built for ourselves and gave away.
