Taking on new projects

Everyone can DIY
with code — still, wouldn't
you rather have it DFY?

The code is open source. You're free to build it yourself. But if you'd rather just have it working — we do that.

*DIY = Do It Yourself — all our projects are open source and free to use or fork · DFY = Done For You — we build it so you don't have to touch a line of code

Native coding language skill and experience. Ai-affirming. We build small, focused AI-powered web tools that solve real problems. Collaborative, communicative, community-minded.

How we work

We build independently and use AI tools to move fast — which means you get more for your budget and shorter timelines.

We focus on tools that do one thing well. No bloated builds, no scope creep, no tech-speak. Just working software and plain English.

Everything we build is open source unless you ask otherwise. You own what we make.

  • We'll tell you if something's out of scope
  • Simple tools that actually work
  • Fast — ideas become prototypes quickly
  • Open source by default
  • You own it. No lock-in.
  • Fair, transparent pricing

Let's build something

Tell us what you have in mind. Even rough ideas are welcome.

We typically respond within a day. Happy to have a quick no-commitment chat first.
