About

Stackyard is a personal, open-source project: a local Docker-based database environment manager and a multi-engine DB client, built to replace the usual "hand-write a docker-compose.yml, then open a separate GUI client" routine with a single native app.

It is released under the PolyForm Noncommercial License 1.0.0 — personal and noncommercial use is permitted, with attribution required. See LICENSE for the exact terms. This is not a commercial product: there is no paid tier, no company behind it, and no plan to sell it.

How it was built

Stackyard was built through a close collaboration between a human developer, who directed the architecture, product decisions, and scope at every stage, and Claude (Anthropic), which executed implementation, testing, and verification work under that direction. Roughly equal effort went into each side of that process — the human made the calls on what to build and why; the AI wrote and verified a large share of the resulting code. Neither side worked unsupervised: every phase in the project's history was reviewed and confirmed by the human developer before moving on to the next.

This disclosure applies specifically to this page. It doesn't change how the rest of the project is written, documented, or credited elsewhere.
