about
Humble Etc. offers knowledgeable guidance and thoughtful construction of technical services by experienced hands.
We help people solve their problems with tech that's built with care. People matter more than profit. We pick work that helps folks understand each other a little better.
We've been writing code since the 1980s and building for the web since the 90s. The biggest lesson from all that time is that software always lands on real people, and whoever builds it is responsible for what it does to them. So we build carefully. We like open source, self-hosting, and systems simple enough that you can keep them running yourself. We'd rather show you your options than sell you on ours. And when we get to choose our work, we choose projects that help people understand each other and look out for each other.
how we work
- People first. Software always lands on somebody. Whoever builds it is responsible for what it does to them.
- Your data, your terms. We'd rather you own and run your tools than rent them from a company that profits from watching you.
- Open by default. We build on open source and share what we can.
- Simple enough to keep. A system you can maintain is worth more than a clever one you can't.
- Kind work. We take the projects that help people understand each other and look out for each other.
