Sites
The public doors. Apps, notes, status, and the longer pages.
Spore
Each product keeps its own colours and type. The shared shell is Spore. When we publish a new one, apps that follow latest pick it up without a rebuild. This page keeps its own layer on top, so a new shell cannot take the homepage down.

Selected work
This is us. Tidalux is where the products live together, and CAOD is the quiet network underneath them.
WaveSites is how we put a proper site in front of a small business without the usual fuss.
WaveCheck is the Tidalux checker. Less ceremony, more answer.
WaveAI sits with the Tidalux products and answers in plain language.
WaveLink is the short-link and QR side of the studio. tidalux.link is the name on the packet.
TapYes is a small reminder for the thing you keep meaning to take with you. You name it once. The button stays.
You have the idea, then every good name is gone. You grab the domain and one handle, and the rest have already left. That is why we made Exists. Nothing else put the check in one place. It is moving quickly. Stay close.
Fetch now, and fetch for free. Not five calls and a setup maze. It is for developers, and also for people who do not want to become one. We built it because the usual way was a pain. One sorted. Plenty left.
SquishID is a prototype for parents and collectors of squishy toys in the UK. It is in alpha. The name is SquishID, and the site is squishid.com.
Approach
Small surface
We leave out anything that does not help someone get on with it.
No theatre
We ship it, then we learn from people using it. Not from a deck.
Concept to container
From the first sketch to something you can open in a browser.
Library
Longer copy lives on pages.caod.ch. Start anywhere.
Marks
Tidalux Ltd is a UK company. We are based here, and we work in the UK and Ireland. These five colours are the places behind the names, the mail, and the servers.
Switzerland
The public names, with Liechtenstein beside them: .ch and .li. Tidalux keeps its own mail and private files in Switzerland.
United Kingdom
Home. The company is registered here, we are based here, and we work here. Ordinary client websites live in a hall just outside London.
Ireland
Home ground as well. A base, and where our .ie names belong.
Moldova
A base.
European Union
A base. The main cloud is in Gravelines, on the north coast of France, close enough to Britain that the hop is small. CAOD's own mail is kept in Germany.
Questions
It's us, Tidalux. CAOD is Compute, Apps, Operations, Delivery. The quiet network we use to run the compute, the apps, the servers, and the delivery.

Studio
CAOD is the Compute, Apps, Operations and Delivery infrastructure for Tidalux, Tidalux Labs, and the rest of the studio. Apps, writing, projects, client sites, and the delivery network.
The company is British: registered in the UK, based here, and we work here. The public names are Swiss and Liechtenstein, .ch and .li. We like .ch because it is short, the holder stays off the public register, and the name servers are anycast, so the lookup is quick from the middle of Europe. That is the privacy and the speed we want under the products.
We design and run these things for ourselves first, because we needed them, and for clients who would rather the work felt calm than loud.
