Small apps, built in the open, one stage at a time.

John Hubert LLC is a small independent studio of developers. This is where our projects live as they grow from idea to something you can install. Try what's ready, see what's next, and read the guides we write along the way.

Projects

Every project moves through the same stages: concept, prototype, testing, live.

Open Chambers

Live

The public voting record of Congress, with alerts. Enter a ZIP, follow your representative and senators, and hear each time they vote, with the official bill summary. Free on the App Store; web version for everyone else.

Vitamin Village

Prototype

Offline-first app about vitamins. A kids' game with ten characters and badges to earn, and a grown-up view with 141 foods, 34 recipes, and a build-your-own recipe helper. No accounts, no tracking.

PWAofflineno data collected

Cove

Testing

Private video rooms you rent, not a platform that takes a cut. Guests join with a link and no account; notes persist with the room; a Language room captions and translates as people speak. Built for tutors and small groups.

visual-math

Concept

A visualization-first way to learn university math, from trigonometry through calculus and linear algebra to the math behind physics. Every idea taught by interacting with the picture.

Designing the curriculum and first lessons.

Proximity Protocol

Testing

A privacy-first way to meet people nearby. Phones find each other over Bluetooth, prove what they have in common without revealing anything else, and show a profile only when both people say yes. Rotating anonymous credentials, mutual consent, and tiered sharing for groups and contacts.

About

Who is behind this site.

John Hubert LLC is an independent software studio. We build small, focused applications, with a particular interest in tools for learning and in software that respects the people who use it: our apps work offline where they can, collect nothing they don't need, and never sell data.

Current work includes Open Chambers, the voting record of Congress with alerts when your representatives vote; Vitamin Village, a nutrition game for children with a companion app for parents; Cove, private video rooms for tutors and small groups, with live captions and translation; and visual-math, a visualization-first approach to university mathematics. Everything here moves through the same stages, from concept to prototype to testing to live, and we say plainly which stage each project is at.
