In 2025, FartLabs continued to grow and evolve. The following is a year-in-review summary of FartLabs’ activities in 2025:
To demonstrate these capabilities in a real-world scenario, an open-source
e-commerce storefront was launched, selling community-driven merchandise and
serving as a test case for our htx and rtx libraries. Learn more.
In March, we had the honor of hosting our premier hackathon, FartHacks 2025, our first major public hackathon. The event focused on bringing together developers and researchers to build user-centric software and explore applications of Linked Data and the Semantic Web.
It was a great opportunity to connect with like-minded individuals and share our research and development efforts. We gained valuable feedback and insights from participants and collaborators, which helped us refine our approach and improve our tools.
Our core tech stack, primarily built for the TypeScript/Deno ecosystem, saw significant updates as we applied lessons learned from user feedback and approached the FartKit 1.0 milestone.
We also introduced go-protocol, an Internet-Draft standardizing deterministic shortlink resolution, and released its reference implementation, @fartlabs/go. These tools enable portable, reliable internal “go” links across any platform.
We continued our deep dive into the Semantic Web, exploring how neuro-symbolic AI can breathe new life into established web standards.
We developed a prototype that uses LLMs to generate and visualize RDF graphs on the fly. We shared this demo with a Computer Science PhD professor—an expert in Knowledge Representation—who was impressed by the system’s ability to construct valid knowledge graphs with minimal code. This validation fuels our belief that utilizing AI can lower the barrier to entry for complex data standards, making the Semantic Web accessible to everyone.
2025 also marked the inception of Wazoo, a world-models-as-a-service platform for AI agents founded by FartLabs’ creator, Ethan Davidson. Wazoo aims to build a future where users and software programs coexist in harmony.
Critically, Wazoo is built upon the research and open-source contributions of FartLabs. This symbiotic relationship provides a robust engine for our continued development, ensuring that our tools remain battle-tested and relevant in the rapidly evolving landscape of AI and agentic computing.
In 2026, FartLabs will continue to be a research and development lab pushing the boundaries of what’s possible in World Wide Web innovation. We are an open-source engineering institution—a hotspot where talented operators share and learn principles, fundamentals, and best practices, using our software’s principles and our manifesto as our North Star.
jsonx, rt/rtx, ht/htx, agx, ts-derive, and Fart.css—
to a stable, production-ready release.Our research lab develops the TypeScript libraries that developers use to build open-source, full-stack AI applications downloaded hundreds of times per month.
