Stellar Minore is an elastic product crew — strategy, design,
engineering, and data, deployed on weekly terms. Scale the team in any
direction, any week. No hiring, no firing, no commitment.
Add or remove specialists and watch your crew — and its kick-off
timeline — take shape in real time. This is how engaging with us works:
capability, turned on and off by the week.
“2 engineers today. 1 tomorrow. Zero the day after, plus a data scientist.
Scale up, down, or sideways — no commitment, no hiring, no firing.”
How every engagement works

04 — Capabilities
Everything between an idea and a working product
Four disciplines, one crew. Take the full stack or plug a single
capability into your existing team — it scales the same way.
01
Data-Derived Strategy
Your company's future can't be left to chance. We turn research, analytics, and
signal into a strategy built for a resilient future — then help you execute it.
02
Interactive Experiential Design
Effective design isn't just pretty colors. It's the rigorous combination of your
vision with experiences engineered to maximize ROI — interfaces your audience will
enjoy and be motivated to use.
03
Quality Software Development
Writing code is something anyone can learn; writing scalable code that grows with
you is the hard part. Years of designing systems from scratch means you won't get a
product that has to be thrown out two years from now.
04
Refine & Optimize Existing Code
Like a finely crafted Rolex, finely crafted software needs maintenance to stay
ahead. We systematically upgrade the architecture, performance, and test coverage
of the codebase you already have.
05 — How we work
From first call to self-sufficient
Six phases from discovery to handover. Every engagement starts with
assessment — no skipping the inspection before the build.
Phase 01
Discovery & Assessment
We map the terrain: users, data, tech stack — and every risk that could slow you down before kickoff.
Phase 02
Strategy & Planning
A clear thesis and a sequenced plan — what gets built, why, and in what order.
Phase 03
Design & Build
Design and engineering in tight loops, with working software to review every week.
Phase 04
Deploy & Operationalize
Launch with the dashboards, runbooks, and rituals that keep it running at full speed.
Phase 05
Automate & Optimize
We find the repetitive spend in your operations — and eliminate it.
Phase 06
Learning & Training
We hand over the controls: your team, trained to run the product long after we're gone.
06 — FAQ
Questions, answered
The things clients usually ask before the first call — answered the way
we'd answer them there.
Scale your crew up, down, or sideways, week to week — add specialists when the roadmap grows, swap roles as what you're building changes, and step back when it doesn't need us. No long-term commitment, and no hiring or firing on your side.
Most crews are running within about a week. We scope the mission first, then assemble the mix of specialists it actually needs.
Yes. Everything we design and build for you — the code, the designs, the product itself — is your work product.
We're a fully remote product team. We align to your working hours and overlap your time zone — location never becomes the client's problem.
Digital products, end to end: data-derived strategy, experiential design, quality software development, and refining and optimizing code you already have.
Launch isn't the end of the engagement. The refine-and-optimize phase keeps improving what shipped, and the learning-and-training phase hands the controls to your team — so the product keeps moving after we're gone.

Case study · Social platform
rekd
Your online theme park — the social network of the future. Web and mobile apps, APIs,
analytics, dashboards, database architecture, and an admin support app, all built around one idea:
taking the friction out of being a fan.
SocialWebMobileMachine Learning
The problem
Navigating vast seas of content
With so much digital media being created and so many sources of entertainment fighting for our
attention, users want to have a good time when watching movies, TV shows, or anime. The goal was to make
rekd a centralized location where fans can find information, engage in discussions, buy
merchandise, play mini-games, or get personalized recommendations aligned with their tastes.
Fandoms on other platforms are also plagued by one huge issue: spoilers. Fans needed a
way to browse worry-free until they've caught up with their favorite shows.
What we built
A social platform, end to end
“Get Rekd” recommendationsExisting taste profiles feed AI systems that return recommendations matched to each user.
Swipe-based discoveryA Tinder-inspired swipe feature that surfaces a user's tastes instantly — and, through testing, proved easy to spend hours on.
Communities & spoiler controlFan-moderated communities, milestone trophies, private groups — plus per-fandom spoiler blocking and a release calendar.
Machine learning feedA personalized feed per user, driven by in-app interaction signals surfacing the communities they're most engaged in.
Trivia duelsAI and user-generated trivia with a PvP option to settle who is truly a fandom's top fan.
Rekdbot moderationAn automated moderation system reviewing every post and comment, removing hate speech and offensive content.
Admin consoleRole-based permissions, content moderation, account support, community oversight, and performance metrics in one place.
Dark UIA visually striking dark interface that reduces eye strain — shipped before dark mode was commonplace.
rekd was available wherever its users were: Android, iOS, and Web — native apps and an
internal admin console, all powered by the rekd API and its ML systems, supported end to end by this crew.
Outcomes
What changed
Through testing, the swipe feature proved easy to spend hours on — users came back just to
build up their taste profile through swiping, then share it with friends. Like-minded communities kept
people returning: sharing “reacts” via pictures or videos, comments, and private groups gave fans fun ways
to engage, while fan-moderated communities and trophies built a sense of ownership and belonging.
By prioritizing user safety through automated moderation, rekd became a positive, respectful digital
space where fans felt safe — on every platform they chose.
A new frontier in surgical guidance — a React-based website with an AWS SES-powered
contact flow, designed to be the face of “cutting edge” medical technology.
HealthTechReactAWS SES
The problem
Making neurosurgery “cool”
A website serves as a face to the world. Zeta Surgical and its mixed reality tools sit at the forefront
of medical innovation, so the guiding principle for this project was “cutting edge” — site
visitors should immediately think “high tech” and “neurology” when they land on the home page.
Traditional medical and research firms are difficult to simplify in a way that attracts the average
person. Often drowned in messaging full of technical jargon, these organizations forget that their website
is their first and best sales tool. Even with a product targeting doctors and hospitals,
decision makers are humans — effective design can optimize conversion and click-through,
and even on a site for a highly technical product, design is a driver for growth and sales.
What we built
Zeta's zone of magic
React websiteA new React-based site with an AWS SES-powered contact flow.
A true hero momentThe majority of design time went to brainstorming “wow” moments — a hero that drives brand retention and earns the scroll.
Tone & typeWith an existing brand palette established, we pushed the identity forward with consistent typography and gradients that were never overly glaring.
A foundation of scalabilityCode written so whoever maintains it tomorrow can immediately jump in — a landing page today, ready to expand into a customer portal or sales tool.
Every project has a unique “magic zone” — the perfect mix of corporate strategy,
messaging, unique design elements, and branding, all while optimizing for a user experience that keeps
visitors from leaving the site. That's where this build lived.

The COVID-19 vaccine for the rest of us — logo creation, branding guidelines, and a
React-based website with an interactive hero animation, built around one non-negotiable: trust.
BiotechBrandingReact
The problem
The challenge of invoking trust
In order to be effective in its mission, invoking trust was a mandatory part of the Alvea mission. With
their goal of making vaccines more accessible, if the public did not trust them, they would fall
flat. Trust as a central part of the design process was the focal point around which everything
presented to the Alvea team was focused.
Given the worldwide pockets of disbelief in the messaging governments were putting out about vaccines
and their side effects, ensuring Alvea's vaccines were also perceived as reliable and safe
was the second focal point of the process.
What we built
Tough challenges, best solutions
Logo & identityMany iterations tested against the trust brief; the final mark plays off bonding molecules and the double helix in DNA, with blue as the primary color for tranquility and security.
Custom hero animationA double helix animation in the hero section — meant to draw people in immediately and convey the advanced medical technology Alvea works with.
Website design & developmentA scalable design system for the brand, with branding and image guidelines directing the creative process.
Information, lightly heldA balance between being informational without being text-heavy — important information served in a graphical, interesting way.

A collectible fractional ownership platform — branding, a Next.js web app with a
no-code custom admin portal, and a .NET Core API, balancing security with convenience at every step.
FintechNext.js.NET CoreStripe
The problem
Balancing security and convenience
Trust impacts user behavior — confident users are more likely to engage and make purchases. That's why
trust and safety were critical considerations in the UX design of Treasure. Balancing the need for
robust security with a convenient, user-friendly interface was integral
to the design approach.
The Treasure team also needed velocity: the ability to rapidly A/B test parts of the platform's design
and copy, without continued dependency on costly specialists in various tools.
What we built
A platform that moves fast
Mobile-driven designA “mobile app without an app” aesthetic — mobile-first and intentionally native iOS-leaning, informed by traffic analysis, while still working well on larger devices.
Modern UI & brandSoft rounded edges, subtle shadows, and an expanded palette of curated purples — sleek, readable, and inviting.
No-code site managerA no-code interface with CMS capabilities: changes pushed to the site with no latency, giving a cash-strapped, growing operation real iteration velocity.
Engagement featuresA community aspect around items, mindful CTAs, micro-animations, tooltips, video guides — and a digital showcase for pieces of a collection bought elsewhere.
Stripe, business-logic drivenAnyone can post an item and resell purchased shares; Stripe plus custom calculation algorithms route proceeds and Treasure's commission to the correct parties.

Engineering-heavy with design and data alongside: the traffic analysis that shaped the mobile-first

Outcomes
What changed
78%
of Treasure's users accessed the platform through iOS mobile devices — the traffic finding that
drove the mobile-first, native iOS-leaning design decision.
The no-code manager removed the bottleneck between idea and live test: changes went out with
no latency, and the portal doubled as a CMS — reducing Treasure's continued dependency
on costly experts in specialized tools. Community features turned collectors into participants, with
showcases for items acquired anywhere, not just on the platform.
Where contacts transform into communities — logo design, brand identity and
guidelines, React Native apps for iOS & Android, and a Node-based API.
SocialReact NativeNode APIBranding
The problem
From contacts to community
GroupLoop's primary goal is to foster connections among individuals who share similar
interests, enhancing their ability to make real-life plans. Users create tags for various
activities, allowing their contacts to join in if interested — and can privately add contacts to specific
tags they believe would appeal to them.
The aim: streamline the process of organizing activities and expand users' social circles,
contributing to improved mental and emotional well-being — without compromising privacy to do it.
What we built
Warmth, engineered
Branding & logoComplete branding including logo design; the two “o's” in “loop” become two people shaking hands — connection, integrated directly into the wordmark.
Color psychologyA primary light blue to promote communication and interaction, with rounded buttons, playful illustrations, and the Nunito typeface for an inviting, iOS-inspired minimalism.
Illustration-led engagementIllustrations used strategically throughout the interface to attract attention, evoke emotion, and give the app personality and warmth.
Ethical UX & privacyContact import deferred until users feel at ease; public and private information clearly delineated; full user control to block contacts or delete accounts at any time.
React Native apps & Node APICross-platform iOS and Android apps on a Node-based API, so one crew ships the whole experience.
