Nouvex, development studio. Where frontend and backend meet.

We design and build web applications and apps for iOS and Android, from the interface down to the API behind it. GGS Network runs the servers underneath.

Studio One team for both sides.

Frontend and backend are built at the same table here. What the interface needs, the API provides, and the other way round.

  • Interfaces

    React and Next.js on the web, Expo and React Native for iOS and Android, built accessibly and fast on every device.

  • APIs

    TypeScript down to the database, with contracts shared by web, server and background services.

  • Operations

    GGS Network runs the infrastructure: servers, monitoring and updates in Germany.

Stack Web, Expo apps and everything in between.

How we work

A small studio that builds the interface and the API from one hand and leaves operations to a partner that does nothing else.

From one hand

Web and apps

Web applications with React and Next.js, apps for iOS and Android with Expo. Whatever the interface needs, the same hand provides at the API.

Nouvex Mail and KCity

Own products

What Nouvex builds for others it also builds for itself: a mail client for every mailbox and a journey planner for Karlsruhe, both in development.

AGPL-3.0

Open code

Nouvex Mail is open source: server, engine and apps under AGPL-3.0, SDK and components under Apache-2.0. Anyone who wants to can run the server themselves.

GGS Network

Infrastructure

Hosting and operations are with GGS Network, in data centres in Germany. Nouvex designs and builds, GGS keeps it running.

Nouvex Mail: one inbox for every account

In development: an open-source mail client. A sync engine in Go keeps every IMAP account up to date on your own server, the apps on the web, iPhone, iPad and Mac read from there, and stored messages are sealed for their owner.

  • Stored encrypted

    Every message with its own key, sealed for its owner

    Sealed storage

  • Web and Apple

    One inbox on the web, iPhone, iPad and Mac, Android planned

    Web app and Apple apps

  • AGPL-3.0

    Server, engine and apps open source, SDK and components under Apache-2.0

KCity: departures and connections in Karlsruhe

In development: a quiet departure monitor and journey planner for the Karlsruhe transport network. Departures, journeys, lines and disruptions without an account, the data from the network's open interfaces.

  • Every 20 seconds

    A stop's board arrives as a live stream, no reloading

    Departure board

  • No account

    Departures, journeys, lines and disruptions without signing in and without tracking

    Public interface

  • Open data

    The KVV timetable data under CC0, departures from the open information system

Where frontend meets backend.

Code that scales.

From the idea to launch.

How we work.

Four steps that repeat for as long as a project lives.

  1. Design

    We work out what is needed and sketch it before a line of code exists.

  2. Build

    Frontend and backend grow together, in small steps you can try out.

  3. Launch

    The application moves onto GGS Network's infrastructure and is monitored from day one.

  4. Further development

    After launch the work goes on: bugs get fixed, dependencies stay current, requests get built.

Who is behind Nouvex

Two people design and build what is made here.
