How the work gets done
No handoffs. The person who writes the database migration is the one who answers the App Store reviewer and takes the support email, which is the only way a studio this size runs five products at once.
Everything here is built on Next.js, Supabase, and Expo, deployed on Vercel, with the schema, the row-level security policies, and the tests kept in the repository rather than in someone’s head. Two of the five are in app stores, which means the release process has to survive a real review queue.
The products have nothing to do with each other on purpose. A parent photographing a drawing and a maintenance tech scanning a lockout tag need the same thing from software: the right record, on the device in their hand, working when the signal does not.
Something here look useful?
Any of these can be set up for your classroom, plant, board, or event. Write and say which one.
