Who we are
three shade is an independent web application engineering studio. We work on interesting open source projects and software that meet real needs users have.
What we believe
Architecture is a decision. Not an afterthought.
Most of what makes software painful to maintain is a choice made in the first week. We treat those early decisions with the care they deserve.
Boring technology. Exciting results.
We reach for tools that are proven, well-documented, and understood. Novel frameworks earn their place only when they solve a real problem the boring ones can’t.
Ship, then stay.
A launch is the start, not the finish. We stay close after release to fix the things only real users surface, and continually improve every single day.
What we don’t do
- Offshoring, subcontracting, or other practices that may dilute quality.
- Greenfield projects without a clear sense of who will own the code after us.
- Rewrites driven by fashion rather than a concrete problem worth solving.
- Work we wouldn’t be proud to put our name on.
