Welcome to the DevQuake blog

DevQuake is a workshop of web apps for everyday problems: shopping together, planning family life, sharing bills, training, looking after pets, cooking and more. One account opens every app, in English, German, Romanian and Hungarian. This blog is where we and our members share guides, tips and news about them.

Why DevQuake

• One account for every app, on phone, tablet and computer, with nothing to install.
• Apps that work together: recipes go to the meal plan, the meal plan to the shopping list.
• Your data stays yours: no advertising in the apps, and deleting your account deletes your data.
• Free to start: you get NPS points at sign-up and unlock apps with them; inviting friends earns more.

The apps

Each app solves one everyday problem well. Here is what each one is for:
