What’s coming to this blog
Project stories, engineering notes, and the reasoning behind how we work. The first ones are on the way.

Mellofattura builds web applications, native Apple software, and AI features for teams who care about craft.
Strategy, design, and engineering stay in one team, which is mostly why a launch ends up focused instead of padded.
We are in Brazil and work remotely. Swift and SwiftUI on Apple platforms, Next.js and TypeScript on the web, and AI systems when the product genuinely needs them.

Our culture - How we work
We hold a high bar on craft and stay close to the teams we build for. The rest is mostly discipline about what we say no to.
- New tech has to earn it. A technology gets in when it makes the product clearer or the system steadier. Being new is not a reason on its own.
- Architecture that holds. Readable code and a considered structure are what let a product keep changing after launch without turning brittle.
- Built for the daily user. Interfaces should feel obvious when someone is in a hurry. We design for the person who opens the product every day, and a demo is a poor stand-in for that.
