Work

Rendered Text is a SaaS vendor that used to provide solutions to clients. The combined experiences have taught us a great deal about planning, designing and building a successful web application.

Semaphore lets you quickly set up a fast continuous delivery process for any web application project. Test every change you make and easily deploy new versions to delight of your users. Integrate with other services and keep your team in the loop. Originally designed for ourselves, it is now used and praised by hundreds of companies worldwide.

Plakatt is a website to share and discover events. Born in the era when the open web and user generated content were changing the world, we made it to answer the question "how do you find out what is happenning in the city?". We are no longer actively developing or promoting it, but it remains used by thousands of people in Serbia.
