The experiment log
Everything DIGI-K LABS has taken from a question to something running. Four live products, four open-source packages, and the one that started it.
The question
Most businesses buy the wrong help because they brief the wrong problem. What if the brief came first?
What we built
A three step journey from confusion to clarity: describe the problem and get ranked causes, compare experts matched to the named cause, then turn the advice into a scoped plan with a metric attached. One problem record carries through all three steps, so nothing is re-explained to anyone.
- Step 01
- Decode the problem
- Step 02
- Find the expert
- Step 03
- Get it done
The question
Can a team get a useful second opinion on its own UX without booking an audit?
What we built
UX-Lens connects a repository and a live product URL, renders the real experience, and returns ranked UX findings. Each one carries the reasoning, a projected metric, a before and after, and a code diff. Nothing changes automatically: accepted suggestions ship as a pull request the team approves.
The question
What does a travel destination look like when locals, not listings, set the information?
What we built
One trusted place for everything to do in Rishikesh: places to visit, adventure activities, cafes and restaurants, backpacker hostels, yoga schools and upcoming events, each with a curated overview page. Travellers can plan an itinerary with local experts, and hosts can add their own listing.

The question
Why does collecting a few fields of data still take a developer and a sprint?
What we built
A form platform for teams who need data in fast: build the form, publish it, and work with what comes back. It is the studio’s flagship product and where most of our research on input design now lands.
- Role
- Product, design, build
- Status
- Live and maintained
The question
How light can a component library be and still cover a real product?
What we built
An emerging UI component library for Vue 2.x and Vue 3.x, published on npm and documented at lightvue.org. It is the piece of our research most likely to end up in someone else’s product, and it ships with its own icon font and layout utility.
The question
What does a component library need around it before anyone can actually ship with it?
What we built
A supporting package. Light Icons is a handpicked collection of premium, lightweight icons delivered as a font, sized to stay sharp on phones, tablets and desktops.
The question
How much of an interface can be done with CSS alone?
What we built
A collection of CSS-only pluggable and lightweight UI elements. No runtime, no framework, no dependency to keep up to date. Drop the stylesheet in and use the markup.
The question
A noticeboard reaches whoever walks past it. What happens when it reaches everyone?
What we built
DIGI Suchna delivers public campus notices digitally and notifies people the moment one is published. Notices are sorted by department or club, searchable from the home screen, pinnable for later, and available offline. It was the first experiment DIGI-K LABS ran, and it is still in service.
- Platform
- Android, Google Play
- Features
- Realtime alerts, search, pinning, offline
