    We’ve been building a small system called XCTBL.

    It’s an identity layer for tools that require persistent state — but it deliberately separates identity/authentication from recording and retention.

    The fastest way to understand it is the new start route here:

    https://rcrdbl.com

    RCRDBL is the records layer. It accepts signals (files, text, artifacts), retains them permanently, and does not authenticate users.

    XCTBL is the external system that creates identities (“Stars”) and manages access to tools that need persistence.

    The separation is intentional:

    • One system remembers. • One system authenticates. • Tools sit on top.

    There’s optional narrative framing, but it’s not required to use anything. Tools work without engaging with the story layer.

    This is early, opinionated, and intentionally constrained. Curious how others think about permanent records, identity boundaries, and whether this kind of separation makes sense.
