Below are some of our favorite examples of custom web applications we've had the pleasure of
building for our clients.
There's others we'd love to share, but we respect client NDAs.

Autosnap
The Autosnap team brought us on to build, launch, and enhance their SaaS application
for the automotive industry. Without delving into the details, Autosnap performs
image enhancements on a dealership's stock vehicle photography based on proprietary
ranking algorithms. The imagery is then consumed by dealerships and large auto sales
sites (i.e. autotrader).

500 Posts
We were contracted to take an incomplete SaaS application
and transform it into a production-ready, sellable service with a slew of new
features, UI updates, and bug fixes. 500 Posts is a tool for
small business owners to improve brand awareness and sales via user generated content
found on social media networks such as Instagram. We not only built and released
the product MVP, but continue to manage the product development with a
small team of remote developers.

Lunamoons
We were contracted to help build out the
initial MVP of a new startup with a new twist on planning
and booking trips as a group.
We were responsible for much of the backend architectural
decisions made and were a major contributor to the overall
application. We delivered full social authentication, a
RESTful OAuth based API, an internal notifications system,
SendGrid integration, MailChimp mailing list integration,
Stripe billing integration, and built a custom API client for interacting with an industry
standard hotel and airfare booking service. We coordinated
remotely with a distributed team of roughly 8 developers.

POP.co
POP is by far our largest scale project. It's a GoDaddy competitor
that focuses on helping people get their new ideas up and online
fast with a custom domain name, email address, and webpage quicker
than you can toast bread. The sheer size of the project, dozens of
API integrations, custom billing, and automation that occur is
something we could write a novel about. We'd love to tell you more
about this startup. Just ask!

Pakible
Pakible, a YCombinator backed startup, sells customizable shipping containers
for businesses. We were contracted for a short period to add functionality
to their checkout process for calculating shipping rates and bulk purchasing
discounts based on the product selected and several other factors.
Work provided made use of multiple third party APIs to perform the necessary
calculations in combination with custom business rules.

.CO Membership Perks
We were contracted by CoInternet to help build the first and second iterations
of their Membership Perks program. The program was designed to offer owners
of a .CO domain members-only perks and discounts. The registration process
includes a special step for verification of domain ownership. The application
was also built with an API that supports registration and Single-Sign On
to directly integrate with partners such as POP.co.

Go.co
We were contracted by CoInternet to rebuild their website
with client supplied user interface designs, optimize and performance tune the server,
and load test to ensure the site could withstand an influx of traffic
following their 2013 SuperBowl commercial. The site utilizes some extremely
customized scrolling logic to achieve the desired effect.

Go.co Domain Suggestion Tool
We were contracted by CoInternet to build them a
cutting edge domain name suggestion tool for their
.CO TLD. This project uses Ember.js to deliver a
single page application. All of the UI elements
are bound to the same data model and interact with
one another. The MySQL database is heavily optimized
to support querying of well over half a million curated
domains. The domain availability checks are done via
several cronjobs targeting high frequency starting letters,
ending letters, bigrams, trigrams, and dictionary words.

ReTargeter Insights V2
ReTargeter is a platform allowing clients to build,
monitor, and optimize retargeting campaigns.
We re-developed the application from the ground up
due to the prior application lacking in terms of
speed, responsiveness, functionality, and stability.
Much of our project focus was on optimizing the process of
reporting data retrieval and caching of externally retrieved API data.
We were also responsible for very customized Recurly subscription
billing integration and handling to meet client requirements.

Ruck.us
Ruckus set out to disrupt the two party political
system via collective action. We underwent several
ideation processes to hone in on exactly how
Ruckus could deliver on it's goals. Ultimately we
built out a platform for creating politically charged
questions and answering questions asked by others as well
as creating "rucks". We built a custom social authentication
system supporting Facebook and Twitter via popup modals
with generic email signup fallback.

Sweet Briar History Database
The focus of this project was to design a database
and supporting CRUD system for managing historical
data of African Americans. The project goal is to
be able to take the entirety of the database relations
and begin matching pieces of data to individuals to
generate richer biographies and family trees. Much of
the data is pre-emancipation when legal names may
not have existed on record. This site has advanced
fulltext searching across every major table column
and an extensive custom pagination class.

mofollow
Mofollow is a free service we built for helping users
expand their twitter network by finding new people
their friends have in common. It was developed prior
to the release of Twitter recommendations and we believe
it still does a better job. It uses MongoDB for session
management via a custom session handler we wrote
and open sourced. We highly recommend you check it
out for yourself.

Craft Blue
This ain't no WordPress theme, ya'll. You've got a front row seat
to some of our development capabilities.
Our website was built using a plethora of technologies: PHP 7,
Kohana 3, HTML5 pushState + history, JavaScript, jQuery,
Backbone.js, CSS3, responsive design, and tons more.
