PoorDevelopers

A collective, not a company

We build software because we feel like it

We are a handful of developers with no company, no investors and no business plan. We ship apps, write down what we learn and build small games. If something here is useful to you, that is enough.

    Shipping in two languages without letting English rot

    Almost every bilingual site ends up with half a website in stale English. We decided the build should fail before we let that happen, and why that is a product decision rather than a tooling one.
