Questions people ask
- Do you take over existing codebases?
- Yes. The scoping sprint starts with a written assessment of what is there, what we would keep and what we would replace.
- Who owns the code?
- You do, from the first commit. Repositories and cloud accounts are created under your organisation.
- Do you build mobile apps?
- Yes. React Native and Expo for Android and iOS. Our own Aqua Core OS app is on Google Play.
- What happens after launch?
- A monthly run retainer covers on-call, updates and small changes. You can stop it with 30 days notice.
