Building in public

Serious software,
built out loud.

A product-led lab. Production-grade platforms. A few client builds a year.

We build our own platforms — Sonic Artistes, Castora — in the open. A few times a year we bring that same craft to a client's build. Real software, shipped at product-team pace, shared honestly.

Real projects.
Real complexity.

Sofia Dives

A storytelling and sponsorship website for Sofia, a 14-year-old elite junior diver on the Olympic pathway. Astro, TypeScript and a self-hosted Directus CMS on a bespoke Navy & Gold design system, deployed static to Cloudflare Pages. Enquiry-based with no on-site payments — every approach routes privately to her parents, and safeguarding leads every decision.

Multi Track Player

A professional stem player that puts the full band in a musician's hands — giving performers and rehearsal directors precise, independent control over every instrument in a track, anywhere, on any device. Now being rebuilt as Simply Playback, a multi-tenant platform serving multiple companies from one deployment.
