Named alongside
These entries mention each other by name. It is a weak relationship and it is the only one the catalogue can show without inventing something.
Names:
- Activity feeds, chat and video as APIs on an edge network, so social features do not require building the hard parts.
Same shelf
The rest of design and media, alphabetically. Sharing a category is a filing decision, not a relationship.
- Generates PDFs and images from reusable templates over an API, so document rendering is not something you build.
- File storage with image and video processing on the delivery path, so transforms are URL parameters.
- A React component system with accessibility and theming built into the primitives rather than layered on.
- Media storage with transformation and delivery, the long-standing default for images that must exist at twelve sizes.
- Real-time audio and video as a toolkit, so live features do not require running media infrastructure.
- The design tool that moved interface work into the browser and made multiplayer editing the default.
- Handles the customer data import: extraction, mapping, validation and the mess in the spreadsheet they sent.
- Real-time image and video optimisation with a digital asset manager attached.
