Status: Development

Last Update: April 2026

Active early development. My first protoype is complete, now I'm building to scale the system. Follow along on substack for regular updates.

Security & Features

Join the Early Adopters

I am building this platform for free. My goal is to create a permanent, secure home for authors to share their work without constant fear of IP theft. I’m bringing everything I have to the table, pro-bono, but I need a community of experts who believe in this mission as much as I do.

The Roadmap

Coming soon

About Jules Mourne

I’ve been writing code since I was 8 years old. In the decades since, I’ve navigated the evolution of the web—I am, quite literally, older than Google. My journey has taken me from building games to securing government systems, all while maintaining a deep-seated love for the craft of creation.

The Professional Path

With degrees in both Business and Computer Science, my career spans over 20 years of active development. I’ve headed compliance for major systems (SOC2, HIPAA, GDPR) and successfully led organizations through the rigorous FedRAMP certification process. To date, I have assisted in the launch of six successful businesses that continue to operate today.

Technical Expertise

I believe in using the right tool for the job, which has led me to become a polyglot developer. I also believe in giving back to the tools that power our workflows by contributing to open-source projects like Obsidian and Foundry.

Creative & Beyond

Whether it’s writing or visual development, I am learned in every tool within the Adobe Creative Suite (yes, even the audio ones). My creative vision glues my technical work together; I’ve built entire costumes for musicians from the ground up and created visually storytelling websites for product launches.

Currently, I am actively working on my Gothic Space Opera debut and several other manuscripts. The need to protect these works during the beta and ARC phases is what originally led me to build a secure distribution platform.

When I’m not architecting systems, I’m usually enjoying a quiet life with my two dogs and partner, or milling my own flour for sourdough bread. Everything else? Well, that story is still being told.
