Our work: a live client site and our own builds

Our own builds

• Chasing Tens

  Our flagship build, made by one person: an Android app for trading-card collectors. Point the camera at a card and the app names it, looks up what it is worth and files it in your collection, with no typing. It is not in the app store yet.

  • Predicts the card's grade, its condition score: a guided close-up pass checks the corners, edges and surface, the centering is measured on its own, and the report says so when it could not measure one.
  • Says if a professional grade is worth paying for: the card's ungraded value against its graded value and the grading fee, from live eBay listings.
  • Watches the market: a Market Pulse tab shows what is moving, and nightly price alerts reach the app's inbox, plus phone alerts if you opt in.
  • Reads and grades cards on the phone itself, so no outside AI service charges for each scan.
  • 100,000+ lines of code
  • 1,973 automated tests, in five layers
  • 98% the test-coverage bar its build must pass

• QR Studio

  A QR code maker that runs in your browser. Nothing leaves your computer: no server, no account, and no redirect service in the middle, so no outside service sits between the printed code and what it holds.

  • Makes codes for a web address, a Wi-Fi login, a contact card in either of its two formats, an email, a phone number, a text message, a map pin or plain text.
  • Matches your brand: your colours and gradients, a logo in the middle, a choice of corner shapes, and a contrast check that warns before a design stops scanning.
  • Reads every code back to prove it scans: a real QR reader tries it as a sharp scan, as a phone at arm's length would see it, and as a small or badly printed copy. It must match exactly or it fails.
  • Prints sheets on Letter or A4 with cut guides, builds a batch from one spreadsheet file (CSV), and saves PNG, PDF or SVG files (SVG stays sharp at any size).
  • 9 kinds of code
  • 3 read-back passes on every code
