A studio that ships its own work.
DevRide builds software for clients and publishes its own apps. Both sides make the other better.
Why both
Agencies rarely live with what they build. Product companies rarely see more than one problem. We wanted the discipline of both.
Our own apps, published on the Microsoft Store under the publisher name Technocrux, force us through everything a client will eventually face: certification, code signing, privacy policies, subscriptions, support email, the update that breaks on one laptop. Client work keeps us honest in the other direction: real deadlines, other people's constraints, and systems we did not design.
The result is a team that is comfortable from the first sketch to the store listing, and has the scars to estimate the middle properly.
What we hold to
Keep data where it belongs.
Our apps process voice, files and audio on the user's PC because it is the right default, not a marketing line. We design client systems with the same question first: where should this data live?
Say the price. Say the limits.
Every listing we publish states the trial, the monthly price and what the free tier does not do. Estimates for client work read the same way.
Ship small, ship often.
A working build every week beats a perfect one every quarter. Our Store apps get updates the same way client projects do: in small, reviewed, tested steps.
Write it down.
Store submission runbooks, privacy policies, release procedures. If it lives only in someone's head, it is not done.
What we have shipped
Four Windows apps, each with a listing, a privacy policy, a support address and paying users.
Work with us
We take on a small number of client projects at a time so the senior people stay on them.
