Tessera
Tessera answers: given where I live and the institutions I want access to, what is the cheapest legal combination of museum memberships that covers them?
Models the U.S. reciprocal-network landscape (NARM, ASTC, AHS, ROAM, MARP, ACM, AZA, Time Travelers), encodes per-network/per-institution exclusion rules as Datalog (Ascent), and solves membership-selection as weighted set-cover.
All-Rust stack, only generated JavaScript:
- Leptos WASM SPA for the web UI
- Ascent Datalog for rule encoding
- Pure-Rust optimizer, zero C/C++ FFI
- Local-first: user’s address never leaves the browser
