Lab Beetle Keeps Experimental Methods from Disappearing
A browser-local experiment register for versioned protocols, parameter records, file fingerprints, run notes, and reproduction checklists.
Field notes
The workflow is organized as a five-part record rather than a generic notes form: protocol, parameters, data fingerprints, run records, and reproduction. Users can save versions, inspect lineage, branch from an earlier method, and export a checklist. File bytes remain on the device while the page computes SHA-256 fingerprints, with a 25 MiB limit per file. Its reproduction language is carefully bounded: verification and a recorded result do not establish independent success.
