Proof of work

Software we build and run ourselves

Most studios can only show you work they did for somebody else. We also build, ship and operate our own products, which is why we know first-hand what happens after launch. Open either one and judge the standard for yourself.

  • Ticketing platformLive

    Eventor

    Event ticketing and management

    An all-in-one ticketing and event management platform built to take long queues out of the equation. It handles the parts of running an event that usually end up spread across spreadsheets, chat groups and paper lists.

    • Ticketing and attendee management in one place, rather than split across tools
    • Built and operated by the same team, so it is maintained rather than abandoned
    • Live in production
    • Nigeria
  • BlogForge visual editor with a drag-and-drop canvas for blog posts and email newsletters
    Content platformLive

    BlogForge

    Write and design blog posts and email newsletters on one drag-and-drop canvas

    A studio for writing and designing blog posts and email newsletters on a single drag-and-drop canvas. It exports clean, portable, self-contained HTML and CSS, so what you publish has no runtime dependency and can be deployed anywhere.

    • Drag-and-drop visual canvas with inline rich text and per-block styling
    • A component library you can save from, reuse, and push updates back out to existing documents
    • Output is self-contained HTML and CSS with no runtime dependency, not a page locked to a platform
    • A built-in SEO engine: meta tags, Open Graph, JSON-LD schema, generated sitemaps and an on-page analysis panel
    • Email newsletters with senders, subscriber lists, send history and unsubscribe handling
    • Scoped, revocable API keys so an external system can queue sends and manage subscribers
    • Downloadable AI skill files generated from its own schemas: one so an assistant produces content the CMS will accept, and one that lets an agent drive a workspace over the API
    • Private Beta
    • World-wide

What running our own products changes for you

  • We have felt your launch dayLive products mean real traffic, real payments and real support requests, not just a handover document.
  • We build for after launchBecause we operate what we ship, monitoring, backups and the awkward edge cases get designed in rather than skipped.
  • We are not learning on your budgetThe architecture decisions in your project come from having made and corrected them on our own software first.

    What is included →
  • Not sure which one you need?

    Describe the problem in plain language. We will tell you which of these fits, and say so honestly if the answer is none of them.

    Describe your project

These are starting figures for the smallest version of each build. They exclude VAT and third-party running costs such as hosting, payment processing fees and app store charges. Your actual quote comes after a scoping call and is fixed in writing before work starts.

How we work with you

You are hiring a team you have never worked with, so here are the terms that protect you. None of this is negotiable, because all of it is in our interest too.

  • You own the code and the infrastructure from day one.
  • You get a written scope and a fixed quote before any work starts.
  • You see working software in regular increments.
  • You talk directly to the people writing the code. There is no account manager relay.
  • We will tell you when your budget and your scope do not match, before you spend anything.

Why us

Why work with Commitshark

You have no reason to trust a studio you have never hired, so here is what we can be held to instead of adjectives.

Rocket icon representing a team that ships products

We run our own products

BlogForge and Eventor are live and still operated by this team. Running software after launch is where most of the hard lessons live, and those lessons go into your build.

Anchor icon representing one team handling the whole build

One team, start to finish

Discovery, design, development and deployment are handled by the same people. Nothing is subcontracted and nothing is lost in a handover between agencies.

Check mark icon representing client code ownership

You own everything

Code, infrastructure and documentation are yours from day one. You get a fixed written quote before work starts and working software every couple of weeks.

Technology

The stack we actually run in production

Infrastructure is where projects quietly fail, long after the demo. This is what we run on live systems, including our own products, so you are not paying us to learn it on your budget.

  • Frontend and mobile

    Interfaces that stay responsive on a mid-range Android phone and a slow connection, because that is what a large share of your users are actually holding.

    • React
    • Next.js
    • TypeScript
    • Flutter
  • Backend and APIs

    Services that stay readable as they grow, with typed contracts so the front end cannot quietly drift away from the API behind it.

    • Node.js
    • Go
    • Python
    • C#
  • Data and streaming

    PostgreSQL as the source of truth, Kafka when events must not be dropped, and OpenSearch when search has to stay fast across a lot of text.

    • PostgreSQL
    • Kafka
    • OpenSearch
  • Cloud and infrastructure

    We deploy to AWS or GCP, on managed Kubernetes where it genuinely earns its keep, and on bare metal where the economics or the data rules demand it.

    • AWS
    • GCP
    • Kubernetes
    • Linux
    • Bare metal
  • Observability

    Prometheus and Grafana, so you find out what the system is doing before your users have to tell you it is broken.

    • Prometheus
    • Grafana
  • We do not use all of this on every project

    Putting Kafka and Kubernetes behind a brochure site is a way to inflate an invoice, not to serve you. We choose the smallest stack that meets your actual load, budget and team, and say so when the simpler option is the better one.

You describe the problem in plain language. We tell you whether we are the right fit, which service matches, and what it would cost. If we are not the right team for it, we will say so.
