]]> Introducing: stuff we're building https://snapp.technology/building/introducing-stuff-were-building https://snapp.technology/building/introducing-stuff-were-building Wed, 29 Jul 2026 12:00:00 +0000 A place to show what we are building: our own products, the decisions behind them, and what we are learning as we go. company product Why this space

We build a lot. Products of our own, tools for ourselves, experiments that sometimes grow legs. This space is where we show what we have been up to: the decisions behind a design, a technique that worked, a short note when we ship something.

Some posts will be long. Most will be short. The point is not to publish on a schedule. It is to leave a trail of how we think and work.

Already on the shelf

The first deep dives are live: VertMatch, a race-readiness engine for trail runners; Open Terrain, a curated directory of indie software for outdoor sports; and Indoor Bike, a local-first smart trainer app with no subscription attached.

What to expect

  • Deep dives into the products we build and run
  • Design and engineering decisions, explained
  • Occasional opinions on European software independence

Building great software is a multi-disciplinary process. We would rather show that than describe it.

If any of it prompts a question, get in touch.

]]> A refreshed home page and a proper impressum https://snapp.technology/building/site-refresh https://snapp.technology/building/site-refresh Wed, 29 Jul 2026 11:59:00 +0000 We reworked the landing experience and added the legal details page every EU company should have. website We gave the home page a pass this week: a cleaner hero and a tighter walk through what we do. We also added an impressum with our full company details and registration number, which every European company should have.

Small changes, but the site should now read a little more like the studio behind it.
