One connected project
Robot development has too many sources of truth.
Datum is an early, local-first toolkit for keeping design files and the software built around them connected. Start with snapshots and reproducible parameter packages; grow toward shared project history and release records.
Catch stale parameters
Generate checked Rust, Python, and C++ parameter outputs tied to source CAD hashes.
Available now

Useful today. Clear about what’s next.
The service supports private projects, memberships, object storage, and branch references. Shared ancestry-aware merges, automatic synchronization, CAD dependency tracking, and hardware release records remain planned work.
