Within our collective, one of our developers serves as the single point of contact, managing all client communications and operations seamlessly. This ensures clear and efficient communication, allowing us to focus on delivering continuous software increments.
We use our Matrix server for daily communication. For detailed governance information, please see github.com/mouseless/governance.
Development is split into small increments, each with an owner and a reviewer, targeted for completion within a week. At the end of each month, we analyze our worklogs and discuss how to organize for upcoming tasks. This helps us maintain a balance between different types of work and skills, ensuring continuous improvement and high-quality outcomes.
Passionate
As software developers, we constantly debate over better and cleaner ways to write code, even after its delivery. It's not just about the end product; it's the inherently elegant and fascinating nature of the work itself that keeps us engaged.
Efficient
We prioritize quality over speed, understanding that rushing can result in costly errors. To achieve a balance between quality and productivity, we employ effective scope management and incremental delivery.
Unconventional
It is our path to evolution. It involves trying and experimenting, embracing new approaches even when they make us feel strange and uneasy. We are perfectly fine with stepping out of the comfort zone, inviting the unconventional.
Excellent
We view perfection as doing the best we can each day, understanding that it's a dynamic goal, not an unchanging ideal. With this perspective, we pursue excellence in our work every day.
Team
We are independent developers who are committed to work in accordance with the mouseless way where everyone has a contribution rate that aligns with their level of experience in the field.

Questions you might have
Why a collective?
A collective is inherently centered around its people, creating an environment of communication and efficiency. In contrast, a business centers on its core product vision, emphasizing product delivery, regardless of obstacles.
When faced with an inevitable choice between the product and the people, collectives lean toward their people, whereas businesses lean toward their products.
Recognizing this, we've chosen to be a collective.
What should I consider when working with a collective?
When a company engages with a company, their agreement typically guarantees the bond with a legal entity, not its personnel.
At Mouseless, we prioritize our people over their legal entities. We work together not only for business reasons, but also due to our shared interest in the profession of software development.
This structure provides our clients with a low turnover rate while maintaining professional relationships through the companies of our people.
What business domains does Mouseless work in?
We don't limit our services to certain business domains by definition. Our business domain is software development itself, and we offer our services to those who have expertise in their own business domains.
That being said, we have more experience in Fintech, Shipping and Delivery, E-Commerce and SaaS.
What technologies do you have experience in?
It's widely accepted that empowering senior software developers to select their preferred tech stack tends to produce successful outcomes. Mouseless is no different. We work as an autonomous software development team, where we expect our clients to give us this freedom.
Our current expertise lies in C# and .NET in the backend, and Vue + Nuxt in the frontend. We also have experience in Java and Spring in the backend, as well as React and Blazor in the frontend.
We're actively exploring Go and Flutter as well.
What’s your pricing model?
We operate on a pay-as-you-go basis, meaning clients pay for the work completed. This gives us the flexibility to handle technology upgrades freely without tight deadlines, leveraging our cross-pollination and open-source approach.
Every developer in the collective has a seniority rate that determines their monthly contribution. This helps us calculate costs transparently. Our single price policy makes it easy for our clients to compare our services with other providers.
