Apps OOretz Factory could build, by industry
Ten verticals, 30app patterns we’d like to build with a partner. The factory ships working Next.js web apps from prompts today (see /factory/proof). The list below is the menu of vertical-specific apps we’ll build with a design partner — most are planned, some are open for design partners, and we currently have 0 production-grade case studies.
Finance & accounting apps with real persistence and audit
AP, AR, check writing, expense entry, invoicing. The work that lives in Excel + a 2007 desktop app + a paper file. The factory ships verified Next.js + libSQL web apps today (real persistence, full CRUD per entity, functional POST + GET smoke). The desktop apps listed below — including a MICR check writer — are roadmap (see ADR 0008).
Apps that survive a deposition
Document assembly, matter management, billing. Legal IT is usually 15 years behind because the partners won't train and the associates won't complain. Build the app that just works for them.
HIPAA-safe apps that run inside the clinic
Patient intake, appointment workflow, prescription tracking, vendor management. Cloud SaaS introduces BAAs and surprise outages. The factory ships Next.js + libSQL web apps today that can self-host inside a clinic VPC; the local-installable-desktop story for fully offline use is roadmap (ADR 0008).
Apps for the truck, the warehouse, and the dispatcher
Plumbing, HVAC, electrical, locksmiths, roofing. The factory ships dispatch-console-shaped web apps today (real-time job board, ETA, customer notifications). The truck-side apps that need offline-first, signature capture, and thermal-printer access depend on the mobile and desktop pipelines, which are roadmap (ADR 0008).
Apps the auditor will sign off on
SOC 2, HIPAA, PCI, ISO 27001. Compliance teams spend 60% of their time gathering evidence from 12 different systems. Build the audit-aware app where evidence is a first-class concept.
Apps that survive the loading dock
Inventory, shipping, receiving, returns. The factory ships web dashboards today (real-time stock counts, receiving logs, returns workflows, shipping reports). Logistics also lives on barcode scanners and offline-first floor apps — those depend on the mobile pipeline, which is roadmap (ADR 0008). Pick web for the office layer today; the floor layer is on the way.
Apps for the work HR actually does
Onboarding, offboarding, time-off, performance reviews. Bamboo and Workday cover the basics, badly. Build the app that fits your actual policies — not the one your HRIS vendor thinks you should have.
Apps for the work CRMs don't do
Quote generation, deal-desk approvals, commission reporting, territory planning. Salesforce is for pipeline. Everything else is duct tape. Replace the duct tape.
Apps for the school office and the trainer
Student rosters, attendance, grading, certification tracking. Education IT runs on systems built in 1998. Replace them one workflow at a time.
Apps for the missions that can't afford Workday
Donor management, grant tracking, volunteer coordination, program reporting. Nonprofit IT budgets are zero. Build the app that does the job without the SaaS subscription stack.

We’ve intentionally listed only what we can speak to credibly. If your domain isn’t here, we’ll either build with you as a design partner or tell you it’s outside our wheelhouse.
