Workflow automation and application builds — no prepress dependency required.
Not every build involves a PDF. Sometimes the job is connecting two systems that don't talk, automating a process your team is doing by hand, or giving an ops team a proper interface instead of another spreadsheet. PWS handles general workflow and application work with the same scoping discipline and source-delivery model as print-specific engagements.
What we build.
Plain Next.js, Python, Postgres, Node.js — whatever fits. Or on the AGPL-3.0+ PWS stack if the project calls for it. Full source code delivered either way.
- Internal ops portals and admin dashboards for teams that outgrew spreadsheets
- Multi-step workflow automation triggered by webhooks, schedules, or file events
- API integrations: connecting systems that don't talk to each other
- Data pipelines: ingest, validate, transform, and route structured data between systems
- Customer-facing portals: upload flows, status tracking, self-service interfaces
- Custom SaaS features built on the Pixie Dust boilerplate (AGPL-3.0+)
- Python and Node.js background workers, queue consumers, and automation scripts
- Migration tooling: one-off data migrations with validation, dry-run, and rollback
- Notification and alerting infrastructure — Slack, email, webhook fanout
- Report generation and scheduled delivery pipelines
Same model, different domain.
Discovery call, written assessment, fixed-fee scope, delivery. The same process as print-specific engagements — because the risk profile is the same. You know the cost before work starts, and you get the source code when it's done.
No lock-in.
If the PWS AGPL-3.0+ stack fits, we use it. If you need plain Next.js, a Python service, or a specific framework your team already runs, we build on that instead. The stack follows the problem, not the other way around.
