Minimum Code is a web app development company for European founders and business owners. We design, build and maintain custom web applications and SaaS products on Next.js, Supabase, Vercel and TypeScript. Senior software engineers own the architecture, code review and testing, while AI coding tools like Claude Code and Codex handle much of the implementation. That's what AI-native development means for us: faster delivery without cutting corners.
What we do
Custom web app development: new products built end to end, from scoping and a working prototype to UI/UX design, development and launch.
Legacy application modernization: we rebuild or refactor aging software that slows your business down, from old custom code to no-code tools like Bubble, Xano or Airtable.
Bubble to code migration: we move live Bubble apps into a codebase you own, usually Next.js and Supabase. Fixed price, fixed scope, no downtime during the switch, and 60 days of free support after launch.

Who we work with
Founders and companies with 5 to 100 employees whose web app is critical to the business, usually without an in-house tech team. Most of our clients are in the UK, DACH and the Netherlands.
Where Bubble fits
We started as a Bubble agency in 2022 and are still a Bubble Gold agency, so we can tell you honestly whether your app should move. Some apps are better off staying on Bubble, and we'll say so. When a move makes sense, the usual reasons are development speed, SEO, owning your code and choosing where it's hosted, including EU hosting for GDPR-sensitive products.
How we work
Every project starts with a discovery call and an honest first opinion. New builds and migrations run at a fixed price and fixed scope after an audit or scoping phase. For live products we work as your product team: code audits, maintenance and ongoing development. Most clients stay with us long term.

Our Story
Tom Louwagie started Minimum Code in 2022 as a Bubble agency and grew it into a Bubble Gold agency. When AI coding tools changed how fast good custom code can be written, we moved to fullstack development on Next.js and Supabase.
Today we build and migrate web apps for European founders, with senior software engineers and AI coding working side by side. We still know Bubble inside out, which is why founders trust us to tell them honestly when to migrate and when to stay.

What Sets Us Apart
Honest advice on Bubble
We are a Bubble Gold agency that also migrates apps off Bubble. That lets us give a straight answer: some apps should move to code, some should stay on Bubble, and we will tell you which one yours is before you spend anything.
Fixed price, fixed scope
Migrations and new builds are quoted after an audit or scoping phase, then delivered at a fixed price and fixed scope. Migrations come with no downtime during the switch and 60 days of free support after launch.
Senior engineers plus AI coding
Claude Code and Codex speed up implementation. Senior software engineers own the architecture, code review and testing, so you get the speed of AI-native development without the risk of unreviewed code.
