HOW WE DO IT

The most important aspect to delivering value on a budget is doing the right thing with the time you have We work with clients to determine which features are core, which need to be explored, and which can come later We focus on the needs of today, with a plan for tomorrow! Simplicity begets velocity From our experience in helping clients get legacy apps back on track, the common thread is the cost of hastily made decisions Our secret sauce? Reduce complexity! We start every app with forethought for future needs, and dedication to keeping things simple and clean

From our dedication to the craft, we filter every decision we make through a feedback loop We use Swift, MVVM, unidirectional flow, reactive techniques, code generation, and micro libraries for layout, data bindings and UI controls We leverage the gains from our commitment to judgement and simplicity to create lasting value

Some of our recent work

• Methodist Le Bonheur Healthcare Methodist Le Bonheur Healthcare hired us to build an app to help them achieve higher efficiency in their organization
• We achieved this with modern functional reactive techniques, code generation, powerful view routing techniques, clean internal modeling to avoid vendor lock-in, and careful structuring to allow them to deploy subsets of the app to other devices
• The result with a small, agile codebase that scales both up and down, solving not just their current needs, but laying the foundation for future projects

• Ava Ava is the creator of the groundbreaking Ava app that helps deaf people participate in group conversations
• Ava hired us to get their iOS app development back on schedule
• We worked with them to simplify what they had, and migrate to modern techniques to lay the foundation for more rapid development
• The iOS app became the lead development platform
• Ava launched to the public and scaled successfully to over 100K users within two weeks

• Twine Twine hired us to help augment their team, and ensure a successful beta launch of their app
• They also wanted incremental progress on analytics
• What we delivered instead, was code generation driven from their spreadsheet based specification
• This generated the boiler plate for all their present and future needs, and eliminated what would have been months of painstaking work
• It also allowed them to add and migrate new concerns with complete confidence that any issue in the client code would be caught immediately, eliminating the possibility of an all to common class of bugs
• The result? Accelerated development schedule, and another happy client

Principle, Lead Developer, Accountant Hi! I am Chris Conover, do-er of all things at Curious Applications I have over 20 years of industry experience, a background in computer science, and forward looking attention to detail Since 2013, I have been helping clients bring their dreams to life in the mobile app space I am excited about technology and modern modes of interaction, from spirited screen based UI and augmented and mixed reality, to audio and haptics based interfaces leveraging wearable devices I am interested in what you are working on and would love to hear from you!

Let's build something great!
