Automations That Just Work
Reliable Home Assistant: Zigbee and Z-Wave that stay up, automations you can read a year later, dashboards people tap, and updates that don't break things.
Free sample
Ship Your First Android App
From an empty Android Studio project to a real app live on Google Play: setup, a first Kotlin + Compose app, the decisions you can't undo, a signed release build, Play Console and the 12-tester closed test.
Free sample
Compose Without the Confusion
Kotlin and Jetpack Compose that make sense: state and recomposition, layouts that behave, Material 3, Navigation 3, ViewModels with StateFlow, and Room.
Free sample
Pass Google Play Review
Get an Android app through Google Play review and keep it there: target API 36, 16 KB page size, sensitive permissions, Data safety and account deletion, honest listings and vitals.
Free sample
Get Paid for Your Android App
The money side of an Android app done honestly: the right business model, AdMob with consent first, Play Billing from connection to acknowledgement, subscriptions, and listings that convert without overpromising.
Free sample
On-Device AI for Android
Real AI features in a Kotlin app without sending everything to someone else's cloud: ML Kit, Gemini Nano, LiteRT, a local LLM on the phone, and a streaming chat with your own Ollama server.
Free sample
Watch Your Homelab
The monitoring stack that tells you first: Uptime Kuma checks from outside, Prometheus and Grafana for metrics, alerts to your phone through ntfy, and logs in Loki with Grafana Alloy, for Proxmox, Docker and Home Assistant.
Free sample
Containers Without the Chaos
Self-hosted apps on Docker without the mess: one Docker VM on Proxmox, one folder per stack, Caddy as the only front door, trusted HTTPS for internal names without opening a port, Authelia single sign-on, and updates and backups you control.
Free sample
Automate Your Homelab
A Proxmox lab you can rebuild in an afternoon: the definitions in Git, cloud-init golden images, VMs declared with OpenTofu, Ansible roles that stick, secrets in a vault, and a rebuild drill that proves it all fits.
Free sample
Stream Your Own Library
Your own films, music, audiobooks and podcasts as a private streaming service on Proxmox: Jellyfin, Navidrome and Audiobookshelf with Intel hardware transcoding, tidy metadata, users for the family and Tailscale as the way in.
Free sample
Data That Survives
The data layer that keeps an Android app working on the subway: Room 3, DataStore, WorkManager and an offline-first sync engine with ETags, conflict rules and idempotent uploads, plus Paging 3, backup rules and fast tests.
Free sample
Store It Right
The storage layer of a homelab done right: ZFS pools on disks it can trust, one dataset per kind of data, sanoid snapshots replicated to a second box, TrueNAS as a VM, SMB and NFS shares, scrubs and SMART with alerts, and RAIDZ expansion when you outgrow it.
Free sample
Fast by Default
Android performance you can measure: cold starts, jank in Compose, Baseline Profiles, memory leaks, battery, network and app size, with Macrobenchmark, Perfetto and LeakCanary, and benchmarks in CI so it stays fast.
