About Lokryn
A home for practical open source software.
Lokryn is an independent software development home founded by Daniel Wallace in Nashville, Tennessee. The focus is building useful tools, exploring ideas, and sharing the work.
Good projects often start with a small frustration: too much setup, a missing tool, or a workflow that could be simpler. Lokryn gives those ideas a place to become working software.
Our current focus is developer tooling, including Loglyte, a structured logging library for Python. Projects can grow through practical use and feedback, with room for experiments along the way.
Open source is central to this direction. You can inspect the code, evaluate it for your own needs, and contribute according to each project's guidelines and license.
How we build
Thoughtful engineering. Room for curiosity.
Complexity should earn its place.
Prefer understandable solutions, focused tools, and dependencies that solve a demonstrated problem.
Useful software needs clear context.
Documentation should explain how a tool works, where it fits, and the limits and tradeoffs to consider.
Let the work develop naturally.
Start with curiosity and real problems. Learn from using the software and from the people who try it.
