About HiveCode

HiveCode started with small utilities we kept rewriting for our own projects: duration converters, timecode helpers, little formatters. Publishing them at clean URLs was easier than copying the same snippet between repositories.

Then people started asking us to build things for them. Today most of our time goes to custom software for clients, and the rest to products of our own, like Mi Bolsillito.

A hive is a lot of small, finished cells working together. That is how we build: every feature and every product is a cell that has to stand on its own and fit with the rest, which is why the team stays small and every scope stays tight.

We are a few colleagues and friends working from a small town in northwest Colombia. We have worked together long enough that the studio feels more like a workshop than a company, and that is how we like it.

The team is deliberately small: the person who designs a feature is the same person who ships it, and the same person who answers when something breaks. Spanish is our day to day; English is for the rest of the internet. Both are first-class in everything we publish.

We build custom web apps, MVPs, internal tools and websites for companies and founders in Colombia and abroad. Projects start with a conversation, become a written proposal with scope, timeline and price, and move forward in short cycles with demos you can try.

GamerLog, a video game diary with thousands of titles, instant search and community reviews, is one of the platforms we built this way.

Alongside client work we launch our own ventures. Mi Bolsillito, a free personal finance app, is one of them. Running our own products keeps us honest about what it takes to get real users: performance, onboarding, support and costs.

We choose the stack for the job. Day to day that means TypeScript, Next.js and Astro on the web and Go (Golang) for backends and APIs, deployed on infrastructure we can monitor. This site is static Astro served by nginx, with self-hosted fonts and no tracking scripts.
