Hey r/SideProject. Sharing the open beta of TridentStack Control. Founder here, will reply to every comment in this thread.
The trigger was watching Windows 10 end-of-life chaos last fall. A huge amount of hardware in the field does not pass Microsoft's PC Health Check for Windows 11 (TPM 2.0, supported CPU lists, etc.) but the actual hardware is fine for years more of business use. Microsoft's stance is "buy a new PC." That is not realistic for non-profits and IT teams sitting on hundreds of mostly-fine machines that finance is not going to replace.
So the first thing I built was an unsupported-hardware Win11 upgrade flow that handles the appraiser DLL bypass and the cross-gen setup.exe flags end to end, with status reporting per machine. The same flow drives Win11 feature-version jumps, including big skips like 22H2 straight to 25H2, on hardware Microsoft would normally block.
That ended up being one feature in a broader patch/vulnerability/compliance management platform. What is in the open beta:
Vulnerability scanning across the fleet with one-click CVE remediation, continuous rather than scan-once-a-week
Tag-based policy management with deployment rings (canary, 3%, 30%, 100%) and per-policy auto-approval
Compliance framework benchmarking for CIS and DISA STIGs with per-endpoint drilldown
Linux apt and dpkg patching on the same engine as Windows, kernel-aware reboot logic
Multi-tenant from day one, so one console can run many customer environments
Stack: Node + React frontend, light weight Rust agents (Windows and Linux), PostgreSQL, persistent gRPC stream from agent to server so status updates land in seconds instead of on a polling cycle.
Open beta is live at https://tridentstack.com. Free to try, no card. Looking for feedback on positioning, gaps, and where it falls over. Let me know what you think!
