A GREEN SHOE GARAGE COMMUNITY
Build your bench.
Share your work.
Patch in.
A handmade social network for craftspeople, engineers, artists, repairers, programmers, fabricators, and curious beginners.
Projects over engagement bait. People over metrics. Chronological, customizable, and advertisement-free.
THE NETWORK
A network of digital workbenches
Projects, skills, tools, questions, experiments, repairs, and collaboration are the center of PATCHBAY.
Make a corner of the web your own
Choose a theme, arrange modules, share a soundtrack, feature your Bench Circle, and publish only what you choose.
Document the work, not just the reveal
Share process, build logs, safety notes, lessons learned, unfinished attempts, and open questions.
Patch into people and Crews
Make mutual Connections, join small Crews, exchange skills, ask focused questions, and leave a note in a Guestbook.
OPEN BENCHES
Meet a few makers
The first Bench could be yours.
PATCHBAY is ready for its first makers.
ASK PATCHBAY
Problems worth solving
No open questions yet.
That is unlikely to last in a room full of makers.
MAKE A PLACE, NOT A PROFILE
