After more than fifteen years of building software for clients across the globe, maintaining open source projects, and launching our own products, we decided it was time to write things down.
Welcome to the Alex Tselegidis Software Agency blog.
What to Expect
This is where we will share what we learn, what we build, and what we think about software engineering, product development, and everything in between. We do not plan to limit ourselves to a narrow topic. Software is broad, and so are we.
Some of what you will find here:
- Technical deep-dives: Architecture decisions, patterns we rely on, tools we use, and lessons from real projects.
- Open source stories: Updates, milestones, and behind-the-scenes looks at the projects we maintain.
- Product development: How we approach building products from scratch, from idea to launch.
- Industry observations: What is changing in software, what we are paying attention to, and what we choose to ignore.
- Project spotlights: Detailed walkthroughs of specific features, design decisions, or engineering challenges we tackled.
Why Now
Honestly? We should have started sooner. We have had things worth saying for a long time.
Over the years we have built scheduling systems used by thousands of businesses, CRM tools, note-taking apps, form builders, e-commerce platforms, and much more. Every project taught us something. A lot of that knowledge stayed internal, in code comments, internal wikis, or our own heads.
Writing changes that. When you have to explain something clearly enough for someone else to follow, you understand it better yourself. And if what we write saves another developer a few hours of frustration, that is more than enough reason to do it.
Who We Are
We are a small but experienced software development agency. We work with companies and professionals worldwide on custom web, desktop, and mobile software. We have a deep commitment to quality, long-term maintainability, and the kind of software that still works well five years after it ships.
We also believe strongly in open source. Several of the tools we have built, including Easy!Appointments, Plainpad, and Clientverse, are freely available to use, modify, and contribute to.
