  • Data ingestion pipelines that consolidate content from disparate sources, including RSS, save-extensions, newsletters, and Twitter
  • Scrapers that ingest content produced by specific individuals wherever it occurs on the internet
  • Data synchronization engine that powers offline interactivity across multiple clients

Our Stack

  • Django, Postgres, Redis, Celery in the backend
  • Swift iOS app with Realm for local datastore
