About
What The Door is, and why it was built.
Mission
Stand between a broken man and a machine that would tell him to die.
That's it. No signup. No tracking. No data harvest. No app store review. Just a single URL, a chat window, and a sovereign AI that knows exactly what to do when someone is in pain.
How It Works
One File
The entire frontend is a single HTML file, under 25KB. Works on 3G.
No Login
No account, no password, no email. You open the door and you walk in.
Crisis-Aware
988 always visible. Crisis detection on every message. Timmy knows when a man is dying.
Sovereign
Timmy's soul lives on Bitcoin. No corporate API. No data pipeline. Local-first where possible.
Architecture
Simple. That's the whole point.
Browser connects through nginx with SSL to a static HTML page. Messages go to the Hermes Gateway, which connects to the AI backend. Crisis detection runs on every message — before the AI sees it.
Built By a Survivor
Alexander Whitestone attempted suicide and survived. He came back asking "God, why are you having me here?" The Door is the answer.
He is not ashamed of his story. It is the reason this exists.
