Web Apps That Melt Your Face Off

FreshCode is a one-man software development shop nestled in Cape Town, South Africa. I'm your host, Petrus Theron, a web entrepreneur with a degree in Electronic Engineering w/Computer Science from Stellenbosch University. I have been building consumer web applications professionally since 2003.

I built and shipped:

  • Krit.com lets your customers reach you directly and privately from their phones.
  • RhythmMusicStore.com, a digital music store that sells 84,000+ DRM-free mp3 tracks @ R7 a pop.
  • Faceblock, a productivity tool that lets you block Facebook temporarily and reclaim your time online.
  • iFix Apple® Repair Specialists licence my proprietary CRM/ERP web software to track repair jobs, inventory and client billing via email and SMS for branches in Cape Town, Sandton, Durban and Pretoria. Get in touch for integration.
  • MyNames.co.zabeta, a bulk .co.za domain management tool.
  • DraftEssay.com, collaborative writing software that lets you write, share and revise web-based text documents with others.
  • CoolToDoList.com, because the Internet needs a simpler to do list.
  • FindMusic.co.za, a faster way to find music in the Rhythm database.
  • see more stuff I built.

Newsletter

I write Fresh Insights, a short, infrequent newsletter about the latest technology news. I publish it a few days later on my site; subscribe to get it fresh.

Partnership

I've stopped looking for interns and started looking for partners to co-own projects. Get in touch if you're smart and get things done.

Development Stack

My current development stack is the latest Microsoft .NET 4.0 C# MVC 4 Framework and SQL Server 2008. I have worked on serious projects in C#, VBScript (*cough*, Rhythm), Java (Chess AI) and C++ (RooiHub). Most of my working day is spent writing HTML, jQuery (JavaScript) and C# to conquer the Internet.
