You'll talk to the people who write the code
WorkersLab is a six-person software shop. No account managers, no discovery theatre. Just the developers who'd build the thing, telling you honestly whether you should.

What we've built
Things we shipped
The first is client work. The rest are ours, still running, still our hosting bill. All six are live right now.
MentorLane
Rails 8 · Hotwire · MySQL · Pundit
Mentor matching for founders, students, expats and newcomers. You describe what you are trying to do and get matched with someone who has already done it. On the higher tiers a person picks the mentor, not the algorithm.
MentorLane publishes 1000+ successful matchings · mentorlane.com
Rota
Rails 8 · Hotwire · Postgres · Kamal
Staff scheduling that replaced the spreadsheet. Conflict detection runs before a schedule is published rather than after it.
$29/mo for up to 25 people, not per-user
Wakio
Rails 8 · AWS SES v2 · Sidekiq
Transactional email sending direct via SES. Suppression is scoped to your account, so another sender's hard bounce never quietly blocks your address.
$99/month for 50,000 emails, every feature on every plan · wakio.net/pricing
Rivetbook
Flutter · Rails API · iOS & Android
Invoicing for electricians, plumbers and builders. Say the job, attach a photo, send a PDF. It all works with no signal.
Free on the App Store, with in-app purchases
Somiti
Rails 8 · Hotwire · Pundit · Postgres
Membership management for clubs, leagues and community groups. Dues, event sign-ups and member records in one place.
Circle plan free for clubs of 50
MailCop
Rails · Docker · Webhooks
Email verification in three layers: syntax, then MX records, then SMTP. It tells you which one an address failed.
$29/mo for 10,000 credits, which never expire
What we do
Six things. We say no to the rest.
How it goes
Four steps, no discovery theatre
Straight talk
We'll ask why you need this. Sometimes the answer is you don't.
Purposeful design
Speed first, decoration second. An element either helps someone finish or it goes.
Build and ship
Proven stacks, not experimental ones. Progress weekly, not a monthly status report.
Go live
Tested on real devices, not just our laptops. We stay on to fix what breaks.
Who you'll talk to
The six of us, by name
Four of us build the software, and each of them works across the whole stack. The other two run marketing, for WorkersLab and for Somiti.
Skip the sales pitch
Tell us what you're trying to build. If we're not the right people we'll say so in the first call.
