The idea

Life is better
when you share
a little of it.

The plans. The everyday things.
And a place that feels like yours.

Our Dacha gives two people a private shared home: a calendar you both read, the lists that keep life moving, and an illustrated world to spend a little time in together.

I built the app and the world around it, from the first screen to the systems that keep it running.

Inside the app

Make yourself at home.

A warm living room, kitchen and conservatory at dusk

A room to wander. A light in the window. Your own small place in the world.

Illustrated world / App view

The work behind the world

Every detail.
All the way through.

A shared everyday

The calendar, lists and private space that belong to one couple.

A place with character

Rooms to explore, a town to wander, and small moments worth coming back for.

Everything underneath

The database, private access rules, shared state, notifications and the infrastructure that connects your two devices.

Backend & infrastructure

A private world.
A working backend.

I built the services that connect two people’s devices and keep their shared world together.

Private at the data layer.: Accounts, shared data and media sit behind access policies scoped to each couple. Permissions are enforced by the backend.
Together across devices.: Shared state, private realtime channels and mobile notifications connect the two sides of a dacha. Backend logic handles the actions that change that shared state.
Built to be operated.: The engineering includes release pipelines, support tooling, encrypted backup scripts and isolated restore checks for the database and stored media.

Another world, very different rules
