Nearshore in the Balkans is not a cheaper slide deck. Same CET day, English delivery, and more of the budget lands in shipped product instead of office rent.

European companies do not need a Balkan branch office to grow a product team. They need named engineers, your GitHub, and a studio that stays after launch.

Stand-ups, pull requests, CI, and English specs look the same in Sarajevo as in Amsterdam. The difference is unit cost and timezone honesty — not craft.

Buyers across BiH and the wider region already trust European brands. A local product partner helps you ship for that market without inventing a fake regional HQ.

Every AR demo ships pinch-to-scale. In RoomFit we deleted it — the moment a shopper can shrink a 230 cm sofa, the answer stops being an answer.

Gating an AR app behind LiDAR is an easy engineering decision and a bad product one. Plane detection is enough when you already know the object’s size.

Retailer AR only previews what someone modelled in 3D. A photo, a background cut-out, and real dimensions cover the second-hand cabinet too.

Photos of someone’s living room are not neutral data. In RoomFit the default is local, and the network call only happens when a user asks for it.

Every AI feature has a per-call cost. Hiding that behind the word “unlimited” buys you a month of goodwill and a year of refund requests.

RoomFit sells €24.99 a year and €59.99 once. Offering both is a bet about how long people keep an app they open while shopping.

A takeover is a freeze, a repo you can build, and a first honest release — not a six-month rewrite sold as “modernisation.”

An event tracking plan is a list of names, properties, and who owns the dashboard — not a tag manager dumped on launch day.

Motion in a product UI should explain a state change. A looping hero video on 4G is not design — it is a bounce.

In-app updates on Google Play are a release tool: flexible or immediate, inside your Console, after a build that already passes review.

An MVP is one loop on a URL or a store listing. Six roles and a TAM slide is a cathedral with a smaller invoice.

A landing page repeats the ad, takes one action, and stays fast on a phone. Ten header links are a website wearing a campaign URL.
