Projects
The Nano Collective umbrellas a growing set of independent projects. Each has its own maintainers, roadmap, and release cadence, and they share a consistent approach to how they are structured, tested, released, and presented.
This is where the collective’s mission becomes concrete. It is a home where anyone can build AI in the open and have it land under a shared brand, a community, and a set of ready-made rails, rather than carry it alone.
Projects under the umbrella
- Nanocoder : a coding agent in your terminal that runs on any model you choose.
- Nanotune : tooling focused on fine-tuning and improving small, local models for practical use.
- get-md : a fast, lightweight HTML to Markdown converter optimised for LLM consumption.
- json-up : a type-safe JSON migration tool with Zod schema validation.
Each project has its own dedicated documentation. The pages in this section cover the rules and conventions that apply across all Nano Collective projects, regardless of stack or domain.
In this section
- How a Project Comes to Life: the path from “I have an idea” to “the project ships under the Nano Collective”. Stages, gates, status taxonomy, what you sign up for, what you get.
- Contributing: how to get involved with an existing project. Where to find work, how to submit, what to expect from review.
- Creating a New Project: the conventions playbook that kicks in once a project is approved to build. Covers repo structure, licensing, CI, testing, documentation, and release.
- Stack Suggestions: recommended tooling and conventions per language stack. The how that complements the what in the Creating a New Project guide.
If you are starting something new under the Nano Collective, the How a Project Comes to Life page is the place to begin. If you want to contribute to an existing project, the Contributing guide is.
