We craft local-first productivity software for developers

🖥️ Products

Our mission is to elevate the UX for developer products and make developers who use them, happier and more productive in their daily lives. After all, developers are users too ❤️.

We are working on our first product, which will be like "Google Docs" meets "Jupyter notebooks" for Markdown. It will be our first terminal based app (which also works over SSH) to be launched as part of a suite of apps focused on enhancing developer productivity, knowledge capture & sharing, and workflow management.

🌍 Open source software

r3bl-cmdr is our open source command line (CLI and TUI) collection of utility apps that improve developer productivity. It is built using our own TUI engine in Rust. Currently it includes two apps:

  • edi - Beautiful Markdown editor
  • giti - Command line assistant to help make git easier to work with.

Here's a sneak peak at the UI:

r3bl-open-core is our Rust open source project. It includes lots of libraries including r3bl_tui, r3bl_tuify, r3bl_terminal_async and r3bl_ansi_color

Here are examples of what you can build using the TUI engine:

🌟 Our ethos

Our open source products are anchored in the belief that technology should serve the needs of humans and all living things. We strive to understand what makes software usable & useful so that it can unlock more human potential.

To this end, we are hard at work building innovative & creative software and a sustainable business that helps software developers be more productive in their remote & async work reality, smile more and be happier in their daily lives 🙂.

If you're a developer, you can use our APIs (crates) now. Please join our waitlist to stay tuned for our product offerings for developers! 🎉

We are indie developers, innovators and creatives at heart. We believe that money is not the only measurable outcome of something that you create or work with others to create. We were born to color outside the lines of conformity.
