About

A small studio with a long view.

Hidook started with a bet: that a small senior team, working in the open, ships better software than a large one working behind status reports.

Principles

How we work.

  1. 01

    Blueprint before build

    We draw the system before we write it. Half an hour on a whiteboard saves a month of refactoring.

  2. 02

    Working software, weekly

    Every Wednesday you get something you can click. If there’s nothing to show, you hear why on Wednesday — not at the end.

  3. 03

    Seniors on the keyboard

    The people in the sales call are the people writing your code.

  4. 04

    Leave it better

    Docs, tests and a clean handover. You should be able to fire us and keep going.

The name

The emblem is a plate with two arcs cut out and a single dot — a hook, a face, a lowercase h, depending on who’s looking. We like that it takes a second look.
