Additional Full-Stack Applications
A set of smaller founder-built applications used to test specific engineering questions: real-time updates, file handling, form-heavy workflows and offline-tolerant interfaces.
Problem
Some engineering questions are best answered by building something small and complete rather than by reading about them.
Objectives
- Test specific technical approaches in isolation
- Build a reusable internal library of solved problems
- Keep engineering practice current
Approach
Each application is small enough to finish and complete enough to be honest about the trade-offs it makes.
UX / UI
Interface work is deliberately minimal in these projects; the questions being answered are structural.
Features
- Real-time data updates
- File upload and processing
- Complex multi-step forms
- Offline-tolerant interactions
- Background job handling

Upload and transformation
Engineering
Each project isolates one problem so the solution can be evaluated on its own terms before it appears in client work.
Architecture
- Small, self-contained codebases
- One primary technical question per project
- Documented trade-offs
Technology
- TypeScript
- React
- Node.js
- PostgreSQL
Challenges
Knowing when to stop
A demonstration project is finished when the question is answered, not when it looks like a product.
Outcome
A working reference library of approaches we can draw on. These are demonstration projects, not client deployments.
