Software house · Shipping in public

We ship software
in public.

Gustforward is a small studio that builds SaaS, mobile apps, and AI features for founders — fast, transparent, in writing. You see every commit, every week, instead of a reveal after twelve weeks of silence.

Products & clients we've shipped

What we do

Four things. Done well.

01

Web apps & SaaS

From "I have an idea" to a paying customer. Next.js, Postgres, Stripe — wired up the way it actually ships.

02

Mobile-first PWAs

Installable, offline-capable, native-feeling. Phone-first because that's where your users are.

03

AI features that ship

RAG, agents, on-device inference, real-time tools. Working products — not demos that fall over at 5 users.

04

Open-source consulting

Internal libraries, design system extraction, bundle budgets, CI guardrails. The boring parts that compound.

The difference

We don't claim we ship fast.
We prove it.

Every studio says it; almost none can show it. Our work ships in public on a fixed cadence — so you can see exactly what we built this week before you ever sign.

How we work

No retainers. No agencies. No PMs.

01

One-page proposal.

Fixed scope. Fixed fee. Fixed timeline. You can read it in five minutes and decide in one.

02

Weekly ships. Weekly demos.

Every Friday you see what shipped. No surprise reveals after twelve weeks of silence.

03

Direct access.

You talk to the person building it. No project managers, no account executives, no calendar friction.

04

Open by default.

Reusable primitives become open-source releases. Your project gets faster. The world gets a free library.

The studio

A small studio that builds in public.

We build software in public — for founders who want to see every commit, not a reveal after twelve weeks of silence. We've built our own products, client sites, and the publishing platform behind Tech & Brew.

If you want a studio that builds with you instead of for you — where you can see every commit, every week — let's talk.
