How we build software that lasts
While half the planet uses React, we chose Vue and its ecosystem (Nuxt, Quasar) for a simple reason: philosophy matters. React is backed by Meta, Angular by Google—corporate giants with corporate priorities. Vue, Nuxt, and Quasar are built by small, passionate teams who compete with those giants by delivering better developer experience, cleaner APIs, and thoughtful design.
We align with frameworks that prioritize simplicity over complexity, developer joy over enterprise bureaucracy. The result? Token Counter, Image Converter, and Collapsibles were each built in days, not weeks. Clean code. Fast performance.
Why build three separate apps (iOS, Android, Web) when you can build one Progressive Web App? PWAs give you the best of both worlds: web accessibility with app-like experiences. Install from browser, works offline, gets updates instantly—no app store gatekeeping, no review delays, no 30% fees.
Our utilities demonstrate this perfectly. Token Counter, Image Converter, and Collapsibles install with one tap, work offline, and update automatically. One codebase means faster development, easier testing, and consistent experiences.
We don't write tests because it's trendy. We write tests because launching broken software is expensive. Every feature goes through a 4-Phase Engineering Process: Implementation → Code Review → Testing → Verification. No shortcuts. No exceptions.
But here's the key: we make test results public. Want to see what's tested? We publish coverage reports for every project—see exactly which code has test protection. Our standard: 90%+ coverage for all production code. Testing isn't a checkbox. It's a mindset. Quality is cheaper than rework.
AI didn't replace developers—it made great developers 10x more productive. Our CodeCrank methodology combines AI acceleration with human expertise: AI assists with code generation, testing patterns, and documentation. Senior engineers review every line, make architectural decisions, and ensure quality.
This hybrid approach delivers the impossible: production-ready MVPs in 2-4 weeks without sacrificing quality. We've built SegmentLite, SeatGenius, crAIvings, and Mixology using this approach. AI wrote the first draft. We made it excellent.
Large teams produce large complexity. Small teams produce focused solutions. We operate with 1-2 engineers per project, not 10-person committees. Decisions happen in minutes, not meetings. Code reviews happen in hours, not sprints.
Small teams also mean personal accountability. When your name is on the code, you write better code. When you'll be maintaining it next month, you document better. We've seen enterprise projects with 50 developers ship slower than a focused 2-person team.
Anyone can claim "high quality." We prove it. Every demo includes public test coverage reports, PageSpeed scores, and GitHub repositories. Want to see our testing standards? Check the coverage reports. Want to verify performance? Run PageSpeed yourself.
Our demos showcase this: SegmentLite (98.36% coverage, 100/100 PageSpeed), SeatGenius (8.7M iterations), crAIvings (100/100 mobile+desktop), Mixology (comprehensive E2E tests). These aren't marketing numbers—they're verifiable facts.
