FETE LABS
FETE LABS // CARIBBEAN VENTURES STUDIO STATUS: RELEASED

Not your average software devs

FETE LABS

We build software the way a sound system gets built. Loud, precise, and engineered to run all night.

Now in beta FetePASS Testers wanted: KOLs and influencers

One scientist. Two ways to reach him.

01 · Ventures

What we make. Running today.

Three products and a set of Linux tools, all on one stack. Each one makes the next one cheaper to build.

FetePASS

Beta · fetepass.ai

FetePASS: one pass for every fete, and every thing

Tickets, food, bookings and a local feed across thirty island editions, on one pass. A wallet pass carries the ticket, and the gate code on it rotates every thirty seconds, so a screenshot is worth nothing.

  • 30 island editions
  • 30 s rotating codes
  • Wallet passes
  • Minor-unit money

Beach Bingo

Season 3 · Web

Island bingo, free to play: a 40-level adventure and 75- and 90-ball rooms you can open for friends. Every draw is committed before the first ball, so any player can check it. The Seeker app is coming to the Solana dApp Store.

  • Committed draws
  • 75 / 90-ball rooms
  • Solana dApp Store

Fetelabs Task Bar

v4.2.5 · GNOME

A GNOME Shell extension that puts apps, windows, tray and clock in one floating bar made of water. It moves with the music, takes its colours from the wallpaper, and its start button opens Fetelabs ArcMenu. The water engine began as Water Panel and now lives inside the bar.

  • GNOME Shell
  • Open source, GPL
  • Fetelabs ArcMenu

02 · Engineering

How we build. Written down.

A sound system is judged on three things, and so is a build. We wrote ours down so you can hold us to them.

LOUD

→ Scalable architecture & market presence

Architecture that holds when the crowd arrives, and a search presence that puts you in front of it. We build for the night everybody turns up at once, not the Tuesday afternoon you tested on.

PRECISE

→ Optimised, type-safe, low-latency code

Typed end to end. Money as integer minor units with a currency attached, and queries measured in buffers rather than vibes. We once took a policy check from 160 ms to 1.5 ms by asking the caller once instead of once a row.

RUN ALL NIGHT

→ Infrastructure that stays up when you are asleep

Edge-deployed and monitored, and built so the browser is allowed to leave. Anything that must finish is finished by the server, because the participant guaranteed to disappear mid-transaction is the phone in somebody's pocket.

Modules out the lab

Island content engine

Running

18,000+ items from 186 publisher feeds across 30 islands, read every two hours, deduplicated, dated and moderated before anything reaches a screen.

Gate authority

Built

Admission codes that rotate every thirty seconds and are spent the instant they match.

Multi-currency money layer

Built

Every amount an integer in minor units with its currency attached, a fee schedule per territory, and a payment rail that is a row in a table rather than a branch in the code.

This ecosystem map

Live

Thirty territory pages generated from one dataset, each with its own currency, peg, clock and schema. The SEO layer we sell, running on ourselves.

03 · Work with the lab

Built for you. On the same stack.

Every module above came out of paid or in-house work on this stack. Engagements start with a brief, not a proposal deck, and every one is scoped and priced on its own.

Custom engineering

Fete Labs: custom engineering

High-performance software for businesses and institutions that have outgrown the template: product engineering, back offices, payments, booking and ordering systems, and the infrastructure under them.

  • Web apps and platforms, server-rendered and fast on island bandwidth
  • Payments and reconciliation across a dozen regional currencies
  • Booking, ordering and ticketing engines
  • Data pipelines, search, and the parts that decide whether it works
Starter Lab · New businesses

Starter Lab: young entrepreneur specials

Entry-level digital acceleration for new Caribbean businesses. Two ways in, and the only difference is who holds the keys at the end.

Managed lease

We hold it. You run it.

  • A domain registered and renewed by us
  • Built, hosted, monitored and maintained
  • Email, forms and analytics kept working

Custom launch

You hold it. We build it.

  • Your domain, on your own account
  • Designed, built, deployed, handed over
  • Full source and access, no lock-in

05 · Build brief

Got a scope? Send it.

The scientist reads every brief before replying, so the first answer you get is an actual answer.

Goes straight to the lab. If sending from here fails, your email app opens with the brief already written.
