Software we build and run ourselves

Most of our work is for clients. Alongside it, we design, build, launch and operate products of our own, and bring what we learn back to every client project.

We run software too.

Hamstalk is ours from the first sketch to the server bill: five-minute German lessons set in a real workday (standups, bug reports, coffee breaks), built for software engineers who want to work at German software companies.

Running our own product keeps our decisions honest: what to cut, what to ship first, and what breaks once real people depend on it. Client work gets the same judgement.

Why a client studio builds its own products

  1. 01

    We live with the consequences

    When something breaks in our own product, we are the ones who fix it. That changes how carefully we build for clients.

  2. 02

    We make the hard cuts

    Deciding what not to build is easier to judge when it is our own time and money. We bring that discipline to your scope.

  3. 03

    We run what we ship

    Hosting, updates and support are part of the job, not an afterthought once the build is done.
