Systems people depend on

Router v2 for qaul.net

Open source · networking
Who depends on it
People messaging over qaul's mesh network, phone to phone, when there's no internet.
What it has to get right
Every message finds a path across the mesh and arrives, especially at the moments it matters most.
What we built
A new routing protocol for qaul, with node manifests, delegation, delta encoding and next-hop routing. We tested it with a framework that simulates whole networks, including links that fail. We also built qauld-ctl, a command-line tool for controlling the qaul daemon.

Fintech · product we run
Who depends on it
School owners, proprietors and bursars.
What it has to get right
The school's fees, payments and balances, correct and available whenever they need them, with no accountant in between.
What we built
Bills that fill in from each student's class and programme, instant receipts, outstanding fees and reports that export to PDF. It's simple enough for anyone in the school office.

WhatsApp ordering

Messaging · in development
Who depends on it
Small businesses and their customers.
What it has to get right
Every order reaches the staff, and every customer knows where their order is.
What we built
Ordering with buttons on the business's own WhatsApp number. Staff accept and update orders from their own phones, and customers get updates automatically. There's nothing to install.

Principles

What we stand for

Reliable, every time

People depend on what we build, so we test it properly and plan for the day something goes wrong.

Easy for anyone

If someone needs training to use it, we haven't finished.

A small team, on purpose

You work directly with the engineers building your system.

We use what we build

We run our own products, so we feel the same problems our clients do.

Services

We're language-agnostic and pick the right tool for each problem.

What we take on

High-performance backends

Services that need to be fast, correct and cheap to run, and profiling for slow ones you already have.

Rust · Node.js · Postgres · SQLite

CLI and developer tooling

Command-line tools, daemons and internal tooling that make other engineers faster.

CLIs · daemons · Unix sockets

APIs, integrations and data pipelines

Connecting systems that were never meant to talk, and moving data between them reliably.

REST · webhooks · queues

WhatsApp business services

Ordering, order updates, staff alerts and customer messaging on the official WhatsApp Business Platform.

WhatsApp Cloud API

Full-stack product builds

From the data model to the screens people use, built and deployed as one product.

React · Next.js · Postgres

Messy process to working system

Taking a process that lives in spreadsheets, notebooks and people's heads, and turning it into software.

Discovery · design · build
