01 · Positioning

How the product takes on the work

RunDock provides one control surface for projects, process trees, port ownership, logs, and scheduler state.

Developers can identify the real listener and runtime state before starting, stopping, or diagnosing a service.

02 · Context

The problem and the people

Why it needs to exist

As local projects multiply, start commands, ports, processes, logs, and schedules become scattered across terminals.

Who it is for

Developers maintaining several local projects, background processes, and scheduled tasks.

03 · Core flow

Core workflow

Four key views trace the complete path from entering the product to handling the work and confirming the outcome.

  1. 01

    Runtime overview

    See project health, active processes, and issues that need attention.

  2. 02

    Projects and processes

    Trace a project entry to its real service process and ancestry.

  3. 03

    Live logs

    Keep precise log context before and after an operation.

  4. 04

    Ports and schedules

    Check listeners, owners, and the next scheduled run.

04 · Product views

Four views of how the product works

All four views stay visible in a masonry gallery. Open any card for a larger view and continue with the arrow keys.

05 · Decisions

Three product decisions

  1. 01

    Listeners beat status labels

    A project is running only when port ownership, process ancestry, and health checks point to the same instance.

  2. 02

    Process ancestry stays visible

    The chain from launcher to service remains traceable so stopping a shell cannot leave a hidden listener behind.

  3. 03

    Actions need before-and-after evidence

    Start, stop, and restart record their baseline and outcome instead of trusting an asynchronous button response.

06 · Current state

What is complete—and what is not

Local project and process management capabilities are implemented.

What the product changes

Developers can identify the real listener and runtime state before starting, stopping, or diagnosing a service.

Source and implementation

Source links are listed above; public screens still use synthetic or redacted data only.

Portfolio boundary

This site shows redacted interfaces and product logic only. It never connects to source databases or performs real publishing, applications, sending, or payments.
