Independent software studio
Useful software for everyday work.

Inside Avenpa Tool
Four kinds of small job.
Each one finished in a tab.
Money and payroll
Net salary, severance, overtime and year-end tax, worked out under Korean labour rules that are dated by year and covered by tests.
Dates and time
Day counts, D-days, ages and instalments, counted against the real calendar instead of an average month.
Images, on your device
Resize, merge, censor and compress photos without uploading a single pixel. The browser does the work.
Numbers and text
Percentages, unit ratios, character counts and QR codes. The arithmetic you would otherwise do twice.

Notes from the workshop
Rules that change every January
Rates that move on dates we do not control, kept in one dated module so the calculators cannot disagree with each other.
A calculator that is quietly wrong is worse than none
Money pages assert the thresholds and the rounding, and read the rates out of the source instead of carrying a second copy of them.
Sessions without a session server
Accounts moved out of a database behind a tunnel and into the worker itself, so the session store can no longer take a page down.
How we build
Small tools, held to a high bar.
01
Fast by default
Every page is prerendered and served from the edge. There is no spinner between you and the answer.
02
Nothing to sign up for
Tools open for anyone with the link. An account exists only if you want to save something you made.
03
Numbers carry tests
Rates and thresholds are asserted in the test run, and each page says which year they apply to.
Company
A small studio, on purpose. The person who builds a tool stays to fix it, explain it and make it better.
