Built from scratch
Our own code and architecture, written for you. Open-source projects are studied for structure only; their code is not copied.

- Every library that ships is reviewed
✔ written from scratch: 100% own code✔ trackers found: 0✔ telemetry / hidden calls: 0✔ unvetted dependencies: 0✔ licences: MIT / Apache only✔ tests: passedThe danger of the shortcut
Free repositories save time until they cost you. The risks are real and documented:
Hidden trackers
Analytics and telemetry calls buried in dependencies send your data out.
Injected code
A trusted package can be taken over and ship malicious updates.
Unclear licences
Some licences force you to publish your own code, or forbid commercial use.
Real cases: the event-stream npm package (2018) and the xz-utils backdoor (CVE-2024-3094).NVD
