Modern React interfaces, on a backend that won't let you down.
When your product needs a rich, app-like interface, we build it in React, with Inertia.js connecting it to a robust Ruby on Rails backend. You get the frontend your users expect, without the complexity and fragility of a fully separate single-page app.

When React is the right tool
A single-page app earns its complexity when the interface is genuinely app-like: heavy interactivity, live updates, complex client-side state, dashboards, editors, drag-and-drop, real-time collaboration. For those, a server-rendered page fights you, and React is exactly what you want.
When it honestly doesn't
Plenty of products don't need that, and a full SPA just adds moving parts, build complexity, and new ways to break. We'll tell you the truth about which camp your product is in, including when you don't need React at all.
Inertia + React: SPA-grade UX, without SPA-grade maintenance.
Inertia.js lets us build a React frontend that talks to Rails without standing up a separate API, a separate auth layer, and all the duplication a fully decoupled SPA brings. Rails still owns routing, auth, and data. React owns the interface.
One codebase
The rich UX of a modern React app on a single Rails codebase, not two apps to keep in sync.
Rails owns the hard parts
Auth, routing, and data stay with Rails, where they're safest, instead of being rebuilt in the browser.
Less glue, less to break
Far less of the API glue and duplicated logic that decoupled SPAs quietly accumulate over time.
Hotwire or React? We're not dogmatic about either.
Reach for Hotwire when
- The product is mostly content and forms with islands of interactivity.
- It's a CRUD-style business app: simpler, faster to build, less to maintain.
- You want server-rendered speed without a build pipeline to babysit.
Reach for Inertia + React when
- The interface is genuinely application-like and the UX demands it.
- You have heavy client-side state, live updates, or real-time collaboration.
- The product is a dashboard, an editor, or something equally interactive.
Where some shops force every project into their one favourite stack, we choose based on what your product actually needs. That honesty is the point.
How we work: proof before commitment
- Discovery call. A free, honest read, including which frontend approach fits.
- Validation Sprint. Fixed scope, fixed price. A working core of the interface, plus a fixed quote for the full build.
- Full Build. The complete app, with a written post-launch guarantee.
- Scale & Support. Ongoing development, or a dedicated team you can absorb.
Why teams choose us
- Full-stack judgment, not frontend-only. We own the Rails backend too, so frontend and backend are designed to fit.
- You talk to the engineers. No account-manager relay, no offshore handoff.
- No finger-pointing. One team owns both sides, so there's no boundary to argue across.
- Nearshore cost, EU timezone. Senior React and Rails work at a price that makes starting easy.
Why Inertia instead of a separate React SPA with a Rails API?
For most products, Inertia gives you the same modern UX with far less complexity: one codebase, Rails-handled auth and routing, no duplicated API layer to build and secure. We recommend a fully decoupled SPA only when your case genuinely needs one.
Can you work with our existing React frontend?
Usually yes. We can join or rework an existing frontend, and we'll be honest about what's worth keeping and what isn't.
Do you do React Native or mobile?
Our focus is web apps. Heavy native mobile is outside our lane, and we'll say so rather than overreach.
How do we start?
With a free discovery call, then a fixed-scope Validation Sprint that proves the core of the interface before you commit to the full build.
