We believe in thoroughly reducing unnecessary complexity in our codebases in order to create and maintain momentum. We’re part of the minority of web software industry that does not default to using frontend meta-frameworks like React, because we believe we gain significant advantages in output velocity, hiring, and product quality by not doing so.
Instead, we’ve built a coding philosophy and a set of patterns and boilerplate codebases that allow us to build and ship highly polished web and mobile apps without needing a team of PhDs to extend and manage them.
