// about
Clear Built is a one-person software studio — Shasikkumar Veeramani (a.k.a Shas), an independent full-stack programmer and builder based in Reading, UK.
Across business and consumer software alike: most tools try to do too much. They add features when they should subtract. Consumers and small businesses use bloated enterprise-y software.
Clear Built is my vehicle to try and build software that is simple and utility focused.

Principles
Simple over clever
Software should shrink to fit the problem, not expand to justify itself.
Open where possible
What you see is what you get. No roadmap bait, no data games. Open source by default.
Honest constraints
Solo, bootstrapped, no outside money. These aren't limitations to apologise for.
Values
Honest pricing
Decent trial period, fair subscription. Happy to serve long-term customers but not through forced lock-ins.
Choose small and ethical
Wherever I spend money — hosting, tools, services — I choose small, independent, ethical businesses where I can.
Built to last
If I build it, I intend to stand behind it.
