A web application studio in the Selle Valley of North Idaho.

Longship Solutions designs and builds software with Ruby, Rails, Go, and React — holding fast to one principle: simplicity.

Software with the fewest moving parts that still float

A longship was fast because it was simple: one hull, one sail, no parts that didn’t earn their place. We build software the same way — systems you can understand end to end, on infrastructure you can fit in your head.

Open source

trellis

Durable intent for AI-assisted codebases — every unit of code gets a sidecar that states its contract, for humans and agents alike.

Open source

contextq

Local queues for AI agents — named queues with built-in context, FIFO claims, and a durable journal on disk. No daemon, no server.

Open source

mason

Publish to your VPS with one command — deploy static sites and share files to a personal server behind Caddy.

Services - A small stack, chosen deliberately

We don’t chase every framework. We go deep on a few proven tools and bring them to bear on your problem.

  • Ruby & Rails. Full product development on the framework that still ships faster than anything else — majestic monoliths, honest tests, and boring deploys.
  • Go. CLIs, services, and systems tooling. Single static binaries with no runtime dependencies, built for operators who read the source.
  • React. Interfaces that stay out of the way — rendered on the server where possible, hydrated only where interaction demands it.
  • Simple infrastructure. A VPS, Caddy, and rsync go further than most teams believe. We design deployments you can explain on a whiteboard in one breath.
