01
We use what we build
Our best product ideas come from our own frustrations. If we're not excited to use it, we won't build and ship it.
The remote product company
A remote-first team building products we can't wait to use ourselves.
What we're building
Building because we need it. Shipping because others might too.

The AI-powered ebook reader app we always wanted.
You read a great book, highlight the best parts, and forget most of it within days. The problem isn't your memory. It's that traditional reading is passive. We're building an AI-powered reader that transforms how you engage with books: active recall, intelligent synthesis, and spaced repetition built right into the reading experience.

12 Principles
Not rules carved in stone, but a compass that keeps us pointed in the right direction.
02
Purpose over profit
Money follows meaning, not the other way around. We choose long-term purpose over short-term wins.
03
If it's not fun, why bother?
Life's too short to grind on things we don't care about. We work on stuff that makes us excited to keep going.
04
Small by design
We're not chasing enterprise scale. Small means nimble, focused, and close to our users. We like it this way.
05
Sweat the details
The magic is in the margins. We obsess over the small stuff because that's where craft lives.
06
Building is the reward
We don't build to sell or exit. The act of shipping something useful is what drives us.
07
Curiosity never stops
We go down rabbit holes, explore side projects, learn new things. That energy flows into everything we build.
08
Rest is productive
Our best ideas come after sleep, walks, or a week off. We don't glorify burnout—we glorify sustainable creativity.
09
Users are teammates
We don't build in a vacuum. We listen to users constantly—their frustrations become our focus.
10
Lean is a lifestyle
No bloat, no overhead, no unnecessary process. We stay lean because it keeps us fast and creative.
11
Product over everything
We're product people at heart. Everything else exists to serve the product, not the other way around.
12
Love the craft
We're here because we genuinely love building software. That energy shows up in everything we ship.
