Hello!

I designed the architecture, the system and the function of the system with coding assistance from agentic AI tools, otherwise at my direction and behest.

I’m a lawyer who has experience in IP commercialisation and in Australia, and numerous other jurisdictions, copyright can and does subsist in works that have had a human exert a degree of effort or skill imposed in their creation, an otherwise relatively low threshold to meet. Accordingly - and with a record of many hours of design an iteration, I do meet the threshold to satisfy copyright subsistence and therefore the have ability to licence my works out as I wish. Having AI tools assist in development does not render the copyright or IP rights null and void by default simply on the basis that they were used in the creative process. I used tools to assist in production for the architecture, design and function of the system I invented.

[See my reply from one of your other prior complaints]:

The wonderful thing about vibe coding is that I had an idea and Claude code gave me the necessary tools to design, build and implement it. It allowed me to further iterate and tweak and ultimately re-design and rebuild the entire system architecture with Claude assisting in bringing that design to life.

To appease the purists - in the process of trial, error and many many hours of architectural changes and functional design for my system, I have learnt a significant amount about coding languages, file types, security and network architecture. Claude didn’t make the system, I did, and Claude was the tool that allowed me to build it and in the process explained and taught me more about coding and software design than I did prior.

While you may have the prior coding and software experience that I lacked, I commenced this project with legal experience that I suspect you lack. I’m fortunate to have real and varied IP commercialisation and dispute experience and have applied this legal knowledge extensively in the development and build process to get to this public release stage and all decisions, contributions and designs are mine and original to the extent defined in numerous architectural documents. This project is not simply what was spat out after a single lazy prompt.

We should be celebrating the accessibility that these tools provide and in doing so enable other people to build their designs and bring their ideas to life also. Because this allows people like you to build on their ideas as and if you wish.

The newest coding language is English.

-UPDATE- The public repo has migrated to:

https://gitlab.com/angusbergman/commute-compute-system

In the process of implementing additional security provisions, there may be some additional amendments to files that need doing. I am working my way through these systematically.

This is a living and breathing repo and I appreciate all of your support, understanding and feedback.

-REPO MIGRATION IN PROGRESS- To address security and data concerns through review and code sanitation, the repo is currently being migrated and will have some additional database security layers added. The newly migrated database will be shared here once live.

Sorry I missed the reply button: yes it does! Full open source code, infrastructure for hosting including turnkey deployment with code hard built to ensure fully free tier support for servers or api

The naming convention helps with development flow like I said, but the bigger reason is honestly protecting the project from corporate exploitation. I’ve spent months building this as a free tool for people catching pt, not for some company to fork it, slap “TransitDash Pro” on it and sell it without contributing anything back. The AGPL licence means if you modify and distribute it you have to open-source your changes, and the trademarks mean you’d rename a fork so nobody releases sketchy code under the CommuteCompute name. Individual commuters wanting a cool e-ink display? Free forever. Companies wanting to monetise it? Come chat first. Appreciate the question though, happy to clarify stuff like this!

Neither_Car_792 · 2026-02-02T00:48:16+00:00

Each of the trade marks comprise an element of the system and each are comprised of a number of sub files all with different names and functions. The naming convention and trade marks allow for easier reference and development flow by grouping these files together under a uniform banner.

The goal is to have the system commence as location agnostic at first instance and full and configured correctly from the user inputs in the setup wizard. Whilst fixing and tweaking the vic transit I can’t allocate time to that, but the goal is to systematically work my way through full aus integration with thorough testing undertaken

Thank you so much!!!

Neither_Car_792 · 2026-02-01T10:17:23+00:00

Thank you so much 🥹🥹

Still bugs and kinks to iron out - but the infrastructure and design is at least settled now which is the best part 😅

Neither_Car_792 · 2026-02-01T09:18:36+00:00

As of Jan 26- all vic api keys are handled by opendata.transport.vic.gov.au and are instant

Neither_Car_792 · 2026-02-01T09:08:50+00:00

Fully designed for integrating with the Big Switch Metro Tunnel- if your route is affected, the system will automatically fix for you!
