Independent software studio
Cadenic Studios is an independent software studio in Canada. We build web apps, mobile apps, Shopify stores and Discord bots, plus the search and marketing work that brings people to them. We also run three products of our own: Portage, Scorebug and Delta-V.
Anyone can have a page on Portage, our link in bio. Make your free page
portage.camp
It’s our free link in bio, and we make it here in Edmonton.
Every feature is free, including video and music players, a live badge, email sign-ups, 53 animated landscapes and stats without cookies. Our own pages for Delta‑V, Scorebug, Wyatt and the studio all run on it.
Each one comes with its own colours, font and buttons, and on your page most of them move.
A record of every game you’ve watched
Scorebug keeps a record of every game you watch, with live scores for 19 leagues, your own notes, photos and ticket stubs, and results going back to 2002. It’s in early access, and you can use it on the web today.

A game where you build a spaceship and fly it between planets
Delta-V is a physics game where you build a spaceship from about 580 parts, then fly it through 100 levels between planets, using their gravity and trying to keep enough fuel to get home. It’s in early access on Google Play and in your browser, and it never shows you an ad you didn’t choose to watch.

Scorebug’s website, with a page for every league and club
getscorebug.app is Scorebug’s website, with hundreds of pages about leagues, games, club gear and rivalries. When the app’s launch plans change, we change one setting and every download button on the site follows.

Every rocket launch on Earth, counting down live
playdeltav.space is Delta-V’s companion site. It has live launch countdowns, the International Space Station’s position as it moves, live distances to every planet, 60 rockets, an almanac for every day of the year and a merch shop.

Free for Discord servers
Send us an invite to your server and we’ll write up what we’d change, including anything a bot could handle for you. It’s free, and there’s no call.
01What we do
Our five services cover 37 kinds of project, from booking systems and dashboards to online shops and Discord bots.
01
We design and build web apps on Next.js and PostgreSQL, hosted on accounts you own. That covers customer portals, booking systems, dashboards, internal tools, marketplaces and SaaS products.

02
We help people find your product and turn their visits into sales, with pages built from your own data, search optimisation, conversion tracking, email, and affiliate or partner links.

03
We build mobile apps for Android and iOS, get them into the stores and keep them there, handling signing, subscriptions, staged rollouts, crash reports and regular updates.

04
We connect Shopify to a storefront built entirely to your design. Your team keeps managing products in Shopify, and your customers get a shop that looks and feels like your brand.

05
We build Discord servers, bots and apps. That means a server set up from a script with its roles and permissions in place, a bot that answers from your own live data, and a page on your own site that people find when they search for your community.

02How we work
The person who plans your project also builds it, and is still the one answering the app store emails after launch.
Portage, Scorebug and Delta-V are our own products and real people use them, so we look after signing keys, store review, subscriptions and everything that comes up after launch.
Scorebug keeps people’s photos and ticket stubs private. Who can see what is set in the database itself, so one bug in the app isn’t enough to expose them.
Delta-V never forces an ad on anyone. There are banners on the menu screens and optional videos players can watch for a reward, and nothing interrupts a flight.
Delta-V’s balance is checked by tests that live in its code, covering the in-game economy and the difficulty curve. Client work ends the same way, with checks that run on every change, preview links and written notes your team can use without us.
03From the journal
Wyatt writes up the bugs we’ve hit and the decisions we’ve made on Scorebug, Delta-V and this site.
Architecture

Most bots cost next to nothing to run. The cost depends on one choice you make before writing any code, which is whether the bot listens to everything or only answers when someone asks.

A four-line accessibility guard blanked every page for the people it was meant to help, and React couldn’t repair it during hydration.

Delta-V has no forced ads. That cost us some revenue, and it turned up a bug that was handing out rewards for ads nobody watched.
