 45 | Wigwams we want:
 46 | 
 47 | - affordable DIY motor vehicles
 48 | - a dirt-simple OS for practical use [and reuse](https://permacomputing.net)
 49 | - tools/guides for "kit" homes that can be constructed from nearby materials,
 50 |   e.g. how to clear patch of forest and build cabin with lumber
 51 | - a simple alternative to github, and maybe even git
 52 | - tools for converting suburban sprawl into human-scale walkable infrastructure
 53 | - simple/predictable query languages and databases
 54 |   ([email me](mailto:hello@taylor.town) for ideas)
 55 | - a simple, open search engine
 56 | - scalable diy paper production and printing presses
 57 | - expressive but small visual markup languages
 58 | - kits/guides for making everyday clothes out of fabric and scraps
 59 | - alternative to YouTube that smells more like podcasts than cryptocurrency
