How we think about software

Most software feels like it was designed by someone who never has touseit. Buttons in weird places. Workflows that make no sense. Loading states that tell you nothing.

We think about the person on the other side of the screen. Maybe they're in a hurry. Maybe they're stressed. Maybe they just want to get their work done and gohome.

So we build things that work the way you'd expect them to. No hunting for features. No wondering if it's broken or just slow. Justsoftware that gets out of your way.

What we actually care about
It just works.
No surprise crashes, no mystery buttons, no "why did it do that?" moments
It's fast.
Nobody has time to wait around. Fast loading, quick responses, immediate feedback
It makes sense.
The important stuff is easy to find. The workflow follows your brain, not our database

Our Approach

How we build

We start by figuring out what people actuallyneedto do, not what would be cool to build. Sometimes that means saying no to interesting ideas that don't solve real problems.

We build fast, rough versions first. Better to learn you're wrong quickly than spend months polishing thewrong thing.

And we actually use what we build. If we wouldn't want to use it ourselves, why would anyone else? It sounds obvious, but you'd be surprised how often thisdoesn't happen.

Working together

Small teams move faster. Fewer meetings, less coordination overhead, more time actuallybuildingthings. Everyone has a real say in what we build and how we build it.

We're looking for people who get annoyed by the same things we do. Who see a slow loading screen and think "this could be faster." Who use software and think "there's got to be abetter way."

Get Involved

Work with us

We work with people who care about the details. If you're a designer, engineer, or strategist who thinks software should be better than it usually is, we should talk.

We're small on purpose. Every person shapes what we build and how we build it.
