We work on substrates.
Not features. Not wrappers. The layers that everything else depends on. Slower to build. Worth more when they land.
Fonles Studios
A studio for the substrates
the next decade will run on.
Fonles Studios is a research and product studio. We pick a small number of problems we believe the next decade will need solved at the foundation — and we build the layer underneath. NamiDB is our third project.
The three projects
How we work
We write before we ship.
Every project starts with an RFC. The argument has to make sense in writing before the code gets to make it.
We publish what we measure.
Including the numbers that embarrass us. The day we hide one, the rest stop being credible.
