Every app starts with a small human story.

Group travel

Turn a group chat into a trip.

The context

It started around message 247: five good ideas, two half-made decisions, and no itinerary anyone could actually follow.

What they built

Wayfinder

Wayfinder gave the conversation somewhere to land: ideas move through votes into a four-day itinerary, with tasks and references beside the plan.

How it works

The group adds ideas and votes, then agreed choices move into a shared four-day itinerary. Booking tasks and document references stay beside the plan, while ownership controls keep another traveller's entries read-only.

The result

The chat can stay spontaneous. The decisions now become a route.

Community sport

Turn one score into a living league table.

The context

It started with one Sunday score that changed the whole table. Captains needed to report results without giving every player permission to rewrite every fixture.

What they built

Touchline

Touchline connected captain controls, verified scores, automatic standings, and visible schedule changes in one match centre.

How it works

Everyone can follow matchday, fixtures, results, and the table. Captains get bounded controls for their own team, so one recorded score updates the standings without giving the whole league permission to edit.

The result

A captain enters the result once. The whole league immediately sees what it means.

Home records

Give a home its own memory.

The context

It started when the range cooker needed a service and nobody could find the warranty, the model number, or the last engineer's note.

What they built

Housebook

Housebook gave the home a room-by-room memory, connecting each item to its documents, service history, and next useful date.

How it works

Open a room to find an item, then follow its warranty, document references, next service date, and complete maintenance timeline. The public Alder House sample stays read-only; a signed-in household keeps its own archive private.

The result

The answer now stays with the house, even when the paperwork disappears.

Event hosting

Host fifty people without a spreadsheet.

The context

It started with fifty seats and replies arriving as couples, dietary notes, and last-minute changes. The guest count stopped being a number anyone could trust.

What they built

Long Table

Long Table became both invitation and guest list: it keeps whole parties together, protects private notes, and moves only parties that fit from waitlist to table.

How it works

Each reply covers a whole party. The app confirms only groups that still fit inside the 50-seat limit, sends later parties to a fair waitlist, and keeps dietary or accessibility notes visible only to the guest and host.

The result

Guests know where they stand. The host always knows the real count.

Neighbourhood sharing

Borrow nearby without the group-chat chaos.

The context

It started with a drill, a ladder, and the same question scattered across three group chats: who has it, and when can I borrow it?

Shared Shed homepage showing its neighbourhood tool library and illustrated green shed.

What they built

Shared Shed

Shared Shed turned the neighbourhood's useful things into one searchable shelf, with availability, private requests, owner decisions, and reservations that cannot collide.

How it works

Neighbours browse the shared shelf and see useful availability without seeing somebody else's request. A borrower asks for a date, the owner reviews it, and the app prevents overlapping reservations behind the scenes.

The result

Now the shelf answers before the chat begins: less buying twice, fewer messages, and a clear handoff.
