Python development
We have a deep understanding (+10years) of Python, its frameworks, and best practices. We are familiar with the various popular Python frameworks.
We maintain a few open-source libraries:
- quart-keycloak: Add Keycloak OpenID Connect support to your Quart application.
- quart-session: Adds server-side session support to your Quart application
- flask-yoloapi: A small framework for creating simple JSON endpoints.
Qt development
native, performant, cross-platform
We have extensive experience creating modern user-interfaces with Qt - a C++ framework that simplifies application development. We have developed tools to assist with graphical user-interface development with QtWidgets and QtQuick. We have shipped our user-interfaces to tens of thousands via various projects, on various platforms, and various CPU architectures.
QtQuick
Custom, highly dynamic graphical UI with fluid transitions and effects
QtQuick has the ability to produce beautiful UIs that run on low-powered embedded hardware. The catch is that the QML markup language is difficult to master. With lots of QML experience under our belt, we can create complex QtQuick desktop (or touchscreen) applications that are a joy to use for the user.
QtWidgets
Traditional desktop-oriented UI
QtWidgets is a more lightweight framework than QtQuick and can provide better performance in most cases, as well as present a more conventional UI style. Development with QtWidgets is faster to develop than QtQuick (and easier to maintain). Over the years, we have created many re-usable components and adopted good practices that may benefit any project.

C++ development
We do various other C++ development, such as Kotki - our in-house language translation library or Jinja2CppMedium - a Jinja2 C++ clone.
OpenID Connect
Single-Sign-On
Single-sign-on allows users to log into a wide range of services and authenticate using a single identity provider. We recommend reading our blogpost titled "Why Keycloak?" for more information.
3D experiences
Blender, Godot
We have experience with creating 3D (HTML5 web) applications using open-source tools like Blender, GIMP, Godot. This may be suitable as a "one-pager" to support your marketing campaign in a unique way.
