The handbook
How the company actually runs, not a polished excerpt. What we value, how we decide, how we pay people down to the formula. If something reads badly, that’s a bug, and anyone can send a fix.
We make good software, in the open.
Flagon, Inc. is a small, independent software company. We build products for developers, and we run the whole company where you can see it: the handbook, the pay, and the way we decide.
What we're building.
Flagon is the company; the products are their own things, each with its own name and room to grow. Here's what's in the workshop.
A company you can read.
We run the whole company in public. How we work, how we pay people, how we price, and why: it's all written down, and you can hold us to it.
Built in the open
Open source is where every product starts. The code, the reasoning, and the mistakes, out where you can read them.
Priced close to cost
What it costs us, plus a markup we say out loud. No seats, no surprise bills, and the price book is public.
Small teams, whole ownership
Each product gets a small team that owns it end to end, from the first line of code to the support inbox. The company underneath is shared: the values, this handbook, and how we hire and pay.
Come build with us.
Read the handbook, see how we hire, or jump into Discord and tell us what you wish existed. It’s all in the open.
