Our guiding principle is maximum compatibility. We design software to function intuitively across the devices you use daily – desktops, laptops, tablets, and phones – and emerging platforms like VR and e-Ink.
AppThere exists to bridge the gaps in the digital world. We are a collective focused on developing applications that aren’t limited by screens or systems.
Platform independence is key. Whether you run Windows, macOS, Linux, Android, or iOS, our goal is for AppThere apps to provide a consistent, reliable experience.
Crucially, we prioritize lightweight performance. Our applications are crafted to be efficient, ensuring they run smoothly even on older or resource-constrained hardware. We build software that includes, rather than excludes.
Explore our projects and join us in creating applications that are truly there for everyone, everywhere

Evaluating gRPC as an Alternative to REST for E-commerce and Inventory Management APIs
Evaluating gRPC as a high-performance alternative to traditional REST APIs for e-commerce and inventory management systems such as Sylius and InvenTree. Compare REST and gRPC across performance (latency, throughput, payload size), client-server communication models (streaming capabilities), data serialization (Protocol Buffers vs. JSON), error handling, and API caching strategies. Explore practical implementation considerations for mapping e-commerce/inventory resources to gRPC services, leveraging gRPC streaming for real-time operations, and handling authentication/authorization. Get recommendations on when to choose gRPC or REST, advocating for hybrid approaches in complex systems like Sylius and InvenTree to maximize benefits while mitigating risks.
An Analytical Report on Porting InvenTree to Rust: API, Testing, and Compatibility Considerations
An analysis of the feasibility and strategic considerations of porting an inventory management system written in Python to Rust. Explore InvenTree’s current API functionality, testing methodologies, and data types, as well as a comprehensive porting strategy, including defining a Minimum Viable Product (MVP) for a Rust version, recommending suitable Rust crates, and discussing API design in Rust. Includes strategic recommendations, emphasizing a phased approach, the importance of addressing the plugin system early, and investing in Rust expertise to leverage Rust’s performance and safety benefits while mitigating migration risks.
An Architectural Analysis of the Sylius API and a Strategic Blueprint for a Rust-Based E-commerce MVP
A deep dive into the Sylius API and a blueprint for building a faster, safer e-commerce MVP with Rust. Explore the potential of porting PHP to Rust for your next project.
Modernizing Retail Operations: An Open Source Platform Strategy with Rust
A strategic vision for developing a comprehensive, open-source retail operations and e-commerce platform using the Rust programming language. It includes inventory management, POS, e-commerce integration, scheduling, and more, emphasizing Rust’s performance and safety benefits. We define a core Minimum Viable Product (MVP), analyze the existing market landscape to identify a niche for a Rust-based solution, and delve into technical architecture, core module design, payment integration, and regulatory considerations, ultimately presenting a phased roadmap for building the platform and fostering a supporting community.
