Software, digitalisation, automation and AI

We build software that runs in production, not just in demos.

We build, ship and run web applications, cloud infrastructure and SaaS products. We also help companies digitalise and automate their everyday work. Most of our experience comes from our own products.

Selected work

Products we built that are still in operation, alongside client projects.

Cartback.shop

Live

A published Shopify app that recovers abandoned carts with email and browser notifications, timed from each store's own buying pattern.

A full product, not a prototype: OAuth and billing, webhook capture, a scheduler that survives cold starts, GDPR webhooks with data deletion, and shopper email addresses encrypted at rest. Listed on the Shopify App Store with approved protected customer data access.

Dropsoon

In progress

Pre-orders for Shopify, built on the platform's own deferred purchase options rather than front-end workarounds.

Checkout collects the deposit and schedules the balance; inventory is committed on fulfilment. We kept the commerce logic in the platform's own purchase options rather than in a JavaScript rewrite of the product page.

Secretree

Open source

Private git for people who do not trust their git host. Source stays plaintext only on machines that hold a key; everything that leaves them is ciphertext.

History, branches, commit messages, reviews and CI logs are all encrypted. A hosting provider becomes a durable blob store: a breach yields ciphertext. The developer workflow stays unchanged: push, pull, review, deploy.

Live

Official website for a Hungarian hunting association.

Next.js on Vercel, built so the association can keep it running without a developer on retainer.

Szerethető Életmód

How we can help

These are the seven areas we are strongest in. If you need help with something else, just write: we will tell you honestly whether we can help, and if not, who we would recommend.

01

Product development

Web applications from first commit to production: data model, API, interface, deployment. We are strongest in TypeScript, React, Python and Postgres, though the language follows the problem, not the other way round.

02

Cloud & infrastructure

AWS and serverless platforms: deployment pipelines, background jobs, monitoring, and keeping running costs proportionate to the business behind them.

03

Shopify apps

Public and custom apps: OAuth, billing, webhooks, theme extensions, and the App Store review process, which we have already been through end to end.

04

Consulting & review

A second opinion on an architecture, a security review before launch, or working out why a system costs more to run than it should.

05

Digitalisation & automation

We turn processes that live on paper, in spreadsheets or in email into a simple shared system, and automate what your team does by hand every week: copying data between systems, sorting emails, building the same report again and again. We start where most of the time goes, and if something breaks, the system tells you.

06

AI adoption

AI is useful when it helps with everyday work, not just in a demo. We build it in where it actually saves time: answering from your own documents, drafting emails, summarising, organising. We develop and run our own products with AI agents, so we know first-hand what it is good at and where a person still needs to check.

07

Business management systems

We build or customise business management systems around how your company works. It can be a new system for customers, orders and stock, or an extension of the software you already use, so you no longer type everything in twice. We build it around the way you already work.

About Buildsnap

Buildsnap is our independent software practice, based in Hungary, working with clients across Europe and beyond.

We lean towards long-lived systems, the kind that still have to run in two years. That shapes how we work: boring technology where it matters, careful handling of customer data, and honest estimates in place of optimistic ones.

Open source projects and SaaS products we run ourselves are part of the portfolio. Running them is where our practical knowledge comes from: what it actually costs to keep software alive after launch.

Working with a small practice means talking directly to whoever is responsible for the work, and we say up front how much we can take on at once.

Describe what is being built and where it hurts. If it turns out the question is better placed elsewhere, we will answer that just as quickly, and say who to ask instead.
