Independent Product Studio

From idea
to MVP.
Built to ship.

We help early stage founders turn product ideas into working web applications, from the first scope to deployment.

Your product. Your code.

What we build / 01—03

The right systems
for your next big step.

No bloated feature lists. No building for the sake of building. Just focused engineering around what your product actually needs.

Discuss your project

From initial scope to production deployment.

From a rough idea to a usable product. We define the core user journey and build the smallest complete version worth shipping.

→SaaS products and dashboards
→Internal tools and admin panels
→Early-stage web platforms
→Prototypes turned into working products

The outcome

A working product your first users can actually use.

Project 01 · SELF-INITIATED PROJECT

WatchTogether

Real-time YouTube watch parties. Create rooms, invite friends with a six-character code, and keep playback in sync—even when someone joins late.

Engineering challenge

Cross-domain WebSocket authentication, server-authoritative playback, and server-side role checks for every event.

RETRIEVE

Project 02 · EXPERIMENTAL RETRIEVAL API

RAGX

A retrieval API for turning documents into searchable knowledge bases, with ingestion, chunking, embeddings, and semantic search in one pipeline.

Engineering challenge

Connecting ingestion, vector indexing, API-key access, and server-side output guardrails into a coherent retrieval workflow.

Project 03 · OPEN-SOURCE DEVELOPER PLATFORM

Devium

An open-source learning platform for documenting the process—not just the outcome—with devlogs and structured learning paths.

Engineering challenge

A modular content structure with straightforward navigation, readable learning paths, and a focused developer experience.

Execution roadmap

Clear scope.
Focused build.
Working product.

A straightforward process designed to reduce ambiguity and keep the product moving.

STEP 01

Discover

Understand the problem, intended users, existing product, and outcome you want to achieve.

STEP 02

Define

Agree on essential features, acceptance criteria, realistic scope, timeline, and price.

STEP 03

Build

Implement the agreed functionality, share progress regularly, and demonstrate working increments.

STEP 04

Ship

Deploy the product, complete handover, document important details, and scope follow-up work separately.

i

Final timeline depends on agreed scope and client dependencies. We don't promise artificial fixed-day sprints without evaluating the work.

Pricing / transparent by design

Start with
what matters.

Every product is different. We keep the scope explicit so you know what is included before development starts.

Common questions

Good questions.
Straight answers.

Scope, working process, post-launch expectations, and how we approach your product.

We focus on web-based MVPs, early stage SaaS products, internal tools, backend-heavy applications, and selected product integrations. We review the scope before committing so the build fits the actual problem.
