NightWorksIO builds open source and its own products.
A small studio registered in the Netherlands, run by one person, pointed at a short list of things built properly instead of a long list built quickly: open-source tools for developers, and online products of its own. They're the whole point of this page.
Alongside its own work, the studio is the SEO partner of Conversiemeester, there to take on the technical projects.
Happklaar — weekly meal plans that fit the life you actually have.
A meal-planning app for busy households. Tell it how many people are eating, how much you feel like cooking ahead, and whether leftovers go in the fridge or the freezer — it returns a complete week you can actually follow, and rebuilds it when the week doesn't go to plan.
Laravel and Vue on the web, iOS and Android from the same build. Dutch and English from day one.
The rest of the workbench.

Spec before code
Lemonfiber and beatrax each have a public canonical spec: when code and spec disagree, the spec wins — or the spec gets updated. Never silent drift.
Local-first where it counts
beatrax keeps your finances on your own machine: no telemetry, no beatrax server, no cloud account. Lemonfiber runs on your own hardware.
Open source, or ethically licensed
php-mutation-gate is MIT, herald is MIT or Apache-2.0. beatrax and Lemonfiber ship under the Hippocratic License — read it, run it, modify it, with ethical-use clauses on top.
European by default
EU infrastructure and EU data residency, chosen deliberately rather than as an afterthought.
