Our story
We build what we'd like ourselves
We’re a small group of publishing & tech veterans, product designers & night owl coders. We like to build products that combine clean UI with simple, intuitive features that make users smile and give customers what they want, when they want it. That might be a timely slice of a textbook for today’s class, or a multimedia articles about the Virgin of Guadalupe festival while you’re standing in Mexico City, and a 2×1 coupon for a margarita across the street. We like these kinds of combinations.
We like simple, clean solutions with a pinch of "wow".
And we listen.
When we launched ebookpie (which later became Slicebooks) a few years ago, it was the first iTunes-style bookstore to feature books and their individual chapters. Publishers were positive but admitted they didn’t have time to create those stand-alone chapters. So we went back, rebuilt, rebranded and launched Slicebooks, which included a set of features that made it easy for publishers to chunk content into sellable chapters & articles, or mix & match content to create custom ebooks.
Then we focused on mobile and the integration of location services with content. And Hipalerts was born.
The goal was to use proximity tech like like geofencing, push and beacons in a mobile platform that could help users discover both content and offers at the right time & place. Like just the right chapter or article – together with a deal, a quiz, a video – at the perfect moment? That’s ideal discovery.
