About the company
We are a team of engineers based in Kraków, Poland. We mostly work with tech start-ups from New York and the Bay Area. We use React, React Native, Elixir and Ruby on Rails, but we don’t like to limit ourselves – we adapt new technologies if they prove to be valuable for a project and we believe that everyone should be at least partially a full stack developer!
React Native is one of our primary specialties. Our history with React Native started well before everyone else’s – one of our founders, Krzysztof Magiera
(https://github.com/kmagiera) was one of the main engineers involved in the development of React Native for Android and has brought this experience to the company just around the release of the Android support. Since then we have been involved in the consulting and development of React Native apps for our clients, but at the same time, we have been very active in the React Native open-source community. Apart from our involvement in the maintenance of React Native core library, we have created several notable libraries (including
React Native Reanimated and
React Native Gesture Handler) and have been co-creators and maintainers of Expo SDK and platform, as well as several other notable tools.
Over the last years, we have built strong partnerships with several of the most involved players in the React Native community, in particular Expo and Shopify. Thanks to that, we have been able to organize and host some of our events. If you are an active React Native developer you have probably heard about our
App.js Conference, and possibly also about workshops and webinars at
Software Mansion Academy. As a result of the above mentioned partnerships, we are also able to fund our efforts in the development of open-source projects in the React Native ecosystem and grow our in-house React Native open-source team. We are constantly working on maintaining our libraries as well as building new features that are not only useful to the RN developers but also solve the actual problems that our commercial clients face.
