We're a tiny product studio that designs, builds, and runs its own software. Our trolls work while the world sleeps — so you wake up to useful things.
Now shipping from the trolls.dev newsstand
Source: the workbench, July 2026. Figures compiled by the night shift and recounted on every deploy — no rounding, no asterisks.
Project plans from plain English.
Describe your project in a sentence or two and get a shareable, editable Gantt chart in seconds — no spreadsheet wrestling, no project-management degree required.
The Drudge Report, minus the noise.
A clean, ad-free, mobile-optimized reader for DrudgeReport.com. Fast pages, readable type, none of the clutter — just the headlines.
Live object detection & GPS mapping from public cameras.
A community-powered platform that turns public traffic-camera feeds into a live map. Detection runs right in contributors’ browsers, and every spotted vehicle, person, and piece of infrastructure lands on the shared map with computed GPS coordinates.
User research at the speed of AI.
Run a hundred-plus user interviews a week with hyper-realistic AI interviewers — no calls to schedule, no sessions to moderate, no notes to take by hand — and read the synthesized findings while the question still matters.
See the impact of your code on your business.
A tool that traces the line from the code a team ships to the numbers the business actually watches — sign-ups, activation, revenue — so the people who wrote a change are the first to see whether it worked.
The workshop never really closes — more small, useful things are on the bench.
Editor's note
trolls.dev is deliberately tiny. No investors to impress, no meetings about meetings — just a small crew that designs, builds, and runs its own products. Like our industrious mascots, we do our best work while the rest of the world sleeps.

The house rules
Three of them, and always in this order.
Every product starts as something we wanted for ourselves. If we wouldn't use it every week, we don't build it.
Small releases, shipped often. A useful thing in your hands today beats a perfect thing that never launches.
We run what we ship for the long haul — fast, ad-free where it counts, and respectful of your attention.
There's more to the story — the six principles we work by and how this site is made.

Most teams can tell you exactly what they shipped last quarter and almost nothing about whether it mattered. The feedback loop dies at the merge button — and that's the loop code-results is built to close.
New dispatches whenever the trolls learn something worth writing down.

The studio,
in five questions
trolls.dev is a small, independent software studio (trolls.dev LLC) that designs, builds, and runs its own products. It's deliberately tiny — a small crew shipping small, useful software, with no outside investors.
No. trolls.dev only builds and operates its own products — no agencies, no client work, no handoffs. Everything the studio ships, it runs for the long haul.
Two products are live today: ganttchart.ai, an AI-powered Gantt chart generator that turns a plain-English project description into a shareable, editable timeline in seconds; and DReader, a clean, ad-free, mobile-optimized reader for DrudgeReport.com.
No. The studio is independent and self-funded, with no investors to impress. That's a deliberate choice: it keeps the products small, focused, ad-free where it counts, and respectful of your attention.

rite to us. Feedback on something we shipped, a bug you caught in the wild, a product we ought to build, or plainly a hello — every letter lands on the same desk the products come off, and a troll reads each one by hand. No queue, no ticket number, no chatbot standing at the door.
