What We've Made
Open source tools. Real community adoption. Code that ships.
Django Spellbook
Markdown to Django, instantly
Most agencies use off-the-shelf CMS platforms. We built ours. Django Spellbook transforms markdown into fully-rendered templates with auto-generated views and URLs - the boring boilerplate that eats development time.
Django Mercury
Performance testing for Django
APIs fail silently. Your endpoint returns data, tests pass, but production crawls because one serializer triggers 300 database queries. Mercury catches N+1 patterns, measures response time and memory, and grades your application's performance.
Platforms We Manage
Community Infrastructure
