§ 04 — How we work
Three rules,
kept simple.
01
Small on purpose
Four people, one inbox, one Linear. Every product on the roster has to be runnable by a team this size — forever, not just at launch.
02
We use everything
If we wouldn't use it ourselves, we don't build it. Every product on this site is running in our own day-to-day work.
03
Quiet AI
We use AI where it disappears into the workflow, not where it shouts. No floating chat windows, no "AI ✨" badges, no demos pretending to be products.
