04 Product Development
What We Build.

Real products, not toy projects. EAX students design, architect, and ship software that solves real problems. These are the product ideas we're developing within EAX.

◎ FLAGSHIP IDEA
Code Navigator
An advanced IDE with a visual graph showing source code and its dependencies — functions, classes, modules, and how they all connect. Navigate complex codebases by seeing the big picture, not just individual files. Think of it as a map for your code.
IDE Graph Viz AST Parsing TypeScript Electron
CN
 ◎ IDEA
Urban Pulse
An app that personalizes city events, exhibitions, and meetups based on a user's route, interests, and social graph, using live maps and local data feeds. Your city, curated for you.
Maps API React Native ML Real-time
UP
 ◎ IDEA
Pickr
Gamified decision-making platform for small groups — users vote on options (like what to eat or watch) with point systems and AI suggestions for consensus. No more endless debates.
WebSockets AI/LLM Gamification Mobile
PK
 ◎ IDEA
API Studio
A developer workspace for designing, testing, and documenting APIs collaboratively. Integrates visualization, mock data generation, and analytics tools. Postman meets Figma for APIs.
REST/GraphQL Mock Engine Collab Analytics
AS
 ◎ MOONSHOT
One for All
Software that can be installed on any device to connect it with others, forming a shared distributed computing network. Each device contributes its unused processing power, creating a large, decentralized system capable of running complex computations together. Think SETI@home, but general-purpose and for everyone.
