EST. 2024
Independent Software Studio · Austria
Retro-Future Software Studio
WeekndDevs builds lean SaaS products, admin software, and digital tools for small teams, clubs, and businesses. Fast enough for real projects. Clean enough to maintain long-term.
Mission
Software without enterprise theatre.
Here we build our own products, reusable systems, and tools for real problems — from tournament management to admin software to event-driven email automation. No buzzword bingo, no unnecessary complexity. Just software that ships, gets used, and keeps growing.
Values
What WeekndDevs stands for
Lean
No buzzword architecture. If it doesn't help, it doesn't ship.
Reliable
Our own server, our own code, our own responsibility.
Long-lived
We build it so it's still maintainable two years from now.
Why WeekndDevs?
What you save yourself.
Direct contact
No sales, no agency facade. You talk to the person who builds it.
Reusable foundation
Many standard features don't have to be rebuilt every time.
Operations included
Hosting, maintenance, and continued development don't become relevant only after launch.
Our own products
WeekndDevs doesn't only build for clients — we run our own SaaS products in real-world use.

Learn more →Behind the studio
One person. No sales team.
WeekndDevs is my studio — Christian Jäkl. I build, run, and maintain the products myself. When you reach out, you're not writing to a sales team — you're writing to the person who writes the code and looks after the server.
01 Clear goals instead of endless coordination.
02 Fast releases, but no throwaway code.
03 Direct communication, no agency facade.
04 What I build, I also run.
Stack
How we build products.
Frontend
Angular and Astro with our own UI library. Every new admin app inherits ready-made lists, forms, and layouts.
Backend
NestJS on PostgreSQL. Clerk for auth, websockets for live updates, our own event pipeline for email.
Infrastructure
Our own servers on Hetzner with Caddy. Lean, transparent, no vendor lock-in.
Approach
JSON-driven UIs, reusable building blocks. Idea → product → operation in short paths.
