Gradient

The privacy-first, 1-second mood journal for 2026.

What it does

Gradient is a web app designed to replace the friction of traditional journaling with a "1-click Habit." How it works: Tap once to log your mood. Watch your year transform into a color-coded mosaic. No accounts. No cloud sync. No tracking. Your data lives 100% in your browser's local storage.

  • Hey we are Computable. We spent years building trading infrastructure at Jump Trading and Coinbase. From that point of view, compute looks like energy markets before 2000: everything trades through private bilateral leases, there’s no visible price, and nothing can be resold. The same H100 rents at a 2x spread depending on who’s asking, and once you sign a 24-month lease, it can never change hands. So we built a market for GPU nodes, sold by the calendar week.
