About Nodwen and how we work
Nodwen is a product development studio made of small teams. We build our own products and help others build theirs: mobile apps, web platforms and the services behind them.
Principles
How we work
- 01
One team per product
Each product has its own small team that owns it end to end: spec, design, code, release and support. Teams share tools, practices and lessons.
- 02
A spec before code
Every feature starts as a written spec with acceptance criteria and edge cases: guests and families, free and Premium, offline, many languages, old app versions.
- 03
Native where it matters
Swift and SwiftUI on iOS, Kotlin and Jetpack Compose on Android, and web products on a backend that can grow.
- 04
Checked on real screens
Testing goes through a matrix of devices, light and dark themes, large fonts and right-to-left languages, with before-and-after screenshots for every fix.
- 05
Released carefully
Builds go to internal testing first, then to the stores; Android rollouts are staged by stability metrics.
- 06
Free stays free
Paid features are new features. We never move something users already have behind a paywall.
