What we built before this.

We registered NowSquare in 2016. The product work goes back to 1999, when the first product was a WAP site, before smartphones existed. Most of what shipped since is archived. Some of it is below, as it looked then.

1999 to 2012. The mobile web.

Agencies first, then an internet company with around 400 customers, then contracts for international companies, some of them in Silicon Valley. Client projects shipped, and that was the last anyone saw of them. The products we owned kept improving, and they kept paying.

Webshop PRO in 2007 was the first e-commerce software of our own. Mobile Site Builder followed in 2010, and Mobile CMS in 2012.

Mobile CMS ran on SQLite in 2012. VoxelSite still does, fourteen years later.

2012 to 2016. Apps and places.

Phones learned where they were, and every shop wanted to reach the people walking past. The watch below shows what that looked like: a shop saying hello to your wrist. We built the apps, the maps, and the back office behind them, including Business Manager, which ran projects and sent the invoices.

None of them run today. Stampify, which came in 2024, works in any browser and asks nobody to install an app.

2016 to 2018. NowSquare, and loyalty.

NowSquare got its name in 2016 and started on loyalty the same year. Loyalty Platform let a business make a digital coupon and redeem it with any QR scanner. The analytics on this screen run from 17 September to 17 October 2016.

The line from that coupon runs to Reward Loyalty in 2023 and to Stampify in 2024.

2018 to now. Software you keep.

In 2018 one of our banners promised "The Ultimate Customer Loyalty Platform". We would not write that sentence today.

Discount Network was the quieter follow-up: "a privacy-focused customer loyalty network".

Then the model changed. A monthly bill buys access, and access ends when you stop paying, when the company shuts down, or when a new owner triples the price.

So since 2023 the software runs on the customer's server, as one PHP application and one database, with the source in the box. It is an unfashionable way to build. It is also the only way we know to hand someone a system and mean it.
