Slabs Labs is an open source organisation focused on building universal, accessible developer tools.
The organisation’s work prioritises simplicity, clarity, and long term maintainability. Projects are designed to minimise configuration, adapt to existing systems, and remain usable across different programming languages, environments, and developer needs.
The mission of Slabs Labs is to reduce unnecessary complexity in software development by providing tools that act as stable foundations rather than prescriptive frameworks.
We aim to:
- Build tooling that works across languages and ecosystems
- Reduce duplication of project metadata and configuration
- Treat accessibility as a core requirement
- Operate transparently and ethically
- Support long term sustainability of open source infrastructure
Slab is a language agnostic project management tool intended to provide a single, authoritative source of truth for software projects. It is designed to integrate with existing codebases and workflows without imposing structure or requiring significant setup.
Additional projects may be added over time as part of the organisation’s broader goals.
Slabs Labs projects are guided by the following principles:
-
Single source of truth
Project information should be defined once and reused consistently. -
Language and framework agnostic
Tools should not depend on a specific ecosystem. -
Minimal configuration
Sensible defaults should work without extensive setup. -
Accessibility by design
Tools should be usable by developers with different abilities, needs, and workflows. -
Transparency
Development, governance, and funding should be open and accountable.
Slabs Labs operates as a community oriented open source organisation.
