We Build Tools
Then We Build With Them
Open source software development from Ontario
Django packages with 10,000+ downloads. Code that ships.
The Throughline
We Build and Use Open Source Tools
When we solve a problem, the solution often becomes a package others can use. Clients benefit from battle-tested infrastructure. Community benefits from our client work.
Django Spellbook transforms markdown into Django templates. Django Mercury catches performance issues before production. Storm Cloud Server combines everything we've built into self-hostable infrastructure. These aren't side projects—they're production tools we use every day.
Real Community Adoption
- ✓ 10,000+ package downloads across our Django tools
- ✓ 5+ years of consistent open source contributions
- ✓ Free, open-licensed tools solving real problems
How We Work
Fresh Start Development
New projects from architecture to deployment. We design systems, not just implement them. Built with the open source tools we created and maintain.
Contract Services
Existing codebases that need performance work, refactoring, or new features. We work with what you have and make it better.
You Own The Code
Complete code ownership is non-negotiable. Infrastructure maintained by the open source community. No licensing fees, no vendor lock-in, no strings attached.
What We've Built
Open source tools we built, maintain, and use in production
Django Spellbook
Markdown to Django, instantly
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
Catches N+1 patterns, measures response time and memory, and grades your application's performance. APIs fail silently—Mercury doesn't.
Storm Cloud Server
Self-hostable cloud storage
Everything we build, working together. Spellbook powers the CMS. Mercury tests the API. Open source infrastructure you actually own.

Our Principles
Open Source First
Everything we build, we share. Free, open-licensed tools solving real problems. Community maintained, battle-tested in production.
Code Ownership
Complete code ownership is non-negotiable. You own everything we build for you. No licensing fees, no vendor lock-in, no strings attached.
Production Ready
We use what we build. Our tools power production applications with real users. If it's not good enough for us, it's not good enough for you.
Long-term Partnerships
We're here for the journey, not just the launch. Fresh Start development, ongoing maintenance, or contract work - we adapt to your needs.
