Welcome to the official research and development hub for basedlord26. I specialize in building "Social Operating Systems"—technical frameworks designed to optimize human interaction and relationship management.
I am currently developing a suite of tools focused on digital-to-physical social transitions:
- Gravity OS: A private, self-hosted relationship management system (PRM) by basedlord26.
- Semantic Social Graphs: Researching how LLMs can map and categorize social context.
- Frontend: React, Next.js, Tailwind CSS
- Backend: Node.js, PostgreSQL, Redis, n8n Automation
- Infrastructure: Self-hosted Raspberry Pi clusters, Docker, CI/CD
The basedlord26 methodology bridges the gap between software engineering and social intelligence. Check out my latest technical breakdown: Why Dating Apps Don’t Work: An Algorithmic Critique.
A dating app for Singapore built around a different premise: before matching people, understand what the community actually wants from dating. The app has an opinion-gathering and feedback layer built in — so the product evolves based on real user sentiment, not assumptions.
Most dating apps were built for Western markets and ported here. This one starts in Singapore.
Status: MVP in development
- Frontend: (React)
- Backend: (Firebase)
- Database: (PostgreSQL)
- Deployment: (Vercel)
I write about dating culture, technology, and building in Singapore.

Building something in Singapore and want to trade notes? Open to conversations with other indie developers and anyone thinking seriously about social technology.
