About the work

Our goal: a community that cares about well-made, long-lasting things, and about the small makers who still make them. Owning fewer, better things. Giving makers the tools and audience to keep their craft alive.

This is a family business, founded and run by a husband and wife who both write code. We work with a small group of trusted collaborators who care about craft and the people behind it. You'll work directly with us, with the full technical and business context to do your best work.
