We're a small group of freelance software developers. We come from many different backgrounds, and we each have specialist expertise in different industries and fields.
Ethical software products are good for your user and good for your business. We help you build software that your users can trust, and that naturally grow on platforms like Slack, Discord, Twitter, Facebook, and LinkedIn. We do this through a combination of full-stack software development, ethical UX design, and community building.
As custom software developers, we fit the tool to your project. We enjoy React, Svelte, Node, Python, Java, PostgreSQL, Firebase. We also enjoy using marketing tools like Mailchimp, Hubspot, Orbit, Outreach, and Unbounce.
First, the users of the product. Second, our respected clients. Third, the Folkwise team.
For all developers on the team, 10 hours per week are dedicated to teaching others. This can take the form of classes, articles, social media posts, group mentorship, or anything else.
We use the easiest words that convey the meaning and the simplest tools that fit the project.
We put our names next to the work we do.
Being an asynchronous company, we have few scheduled meetings. Instead, we prioritize deep work and minimize distractions. Everyone codes, everyone is a decision maker, and everyone understands our values. We agree with our clients on our end-goals, and then we over-communicate as we drive towards them.
