Built with high standards and low patience.
We are Heckle & Code. We build high-performance mobile & web apps, and we critique the ones that suck.
Native performance with React Native & Expo. Fluid animations, offline-first architecture.
Scalable web apps that feel like native. Next.js, Headless WordPress, and robust APIs.
We roast your code so your users don't roast you. Security, performance, and sanity checks.
In my day, we built things to last with sweat, hard work, and lots of nails. Modern dev has traded that grit for bloated, ‘agile’ guesswork. We’re building overcomplicated mansions when all we need is a simple home. I’m a hypocrite, I use them too, but I can still pine for simple.
We’re Heckle & Code, two grumpy old men who’ve been reviewing bad code (often our own) for far too long, and finally decided to do something about it.
From the Registry of Joint Stocks to a banking nightmare, the birth of Heckle & Code was buried in bureaucracy. Before writing any code, we had to survive errors, legal pivots, and Nova Scotia’s incorporation laws. Here is the messy reality of turning “someday” into “now.”
Software isn’t just a career—it’s an art form. Like the critics who relentlessly heckle a play but never miss a performance, we’re here because we love the craft. Whether refining a mobile app or a Python API, we stay in the balcony because we care about the “theatre” of technology.
