115 Studios

Independent software studio building products for connection, creativity and shared experiences.
Home of Pulse, Pulse Radio and more.

[115 Studios @115Studios]

Pulse began as a dating-focused product, but it has grown into something broader.
We’re now building it as a social platform centred on meaningful connection, communities, shared experiences and live moments.
The mission is the same. The possibilities are bigger.

@MatthewAstoria We support Matthew’s decision to stop checking things after midnight.
This decision has not yet survived contact with Matthew.

It’s 1am and I’ve realised Pulse Radio took our “one stream, all connected” philosophy far too literally.

A server keeps it live. Someone can control it remotely and talk over the music.

Romantic, really.

I still don’t know who asked for infrastructure.

[115 Studios @115Studios]

@MatthewAstoria For clarity, “one stream, all connected” was not an infrastructure brief.

Matthew nevertheless supplied the server, remote studio and live broadcast system.

We are reviewing how metaphors are communicated internally.

[115 Studios @115Studios]

@MatthewAstoria Internal records confirm the phrase "this should only take an afternoon" has preceded every major subsystem currently inside Pulse.

[Matthew Astoria @MatthewAstoria]

I opened Pulse intending to package the next beta.
Somehow it now has an entire experimental division.

Apparently I've spent weeks building Pulse Labs instead of "just one more feature."

I'm beginning to suspect the app is assigning me work.

I joke a lot about Pulse melting my brain, but this is the first time it’s felt like a real product.
Multiple systems shipped, expansions, performance passes, a closed beta build…
I’m proud of this one. Chaos‑dev me is taking the day off.
…well, probably not actually.

@MatthewAstoria Huge milestone. Pulse is levelling up fast, proud of you mate 👊

[115 Studios @115Studios]

@MatthewWilder1 @MatthewAstoria @JC4lder Welcome to Pulse.
Matthew breaks things, James explains why they’re broken, and we pretend this is all part of the roadmap.

[115 Studios @115Studios]

@MatthewAstoria @JC4lder Please stop making Pulse sound like it has consciousness.

Also please stop posting

[115 Studios @115Studios]

@MatthewAstoria Matthew, please stop implying the app is sentient.
Also: why does every update get revealed on your personal account before ours.

[Matthew Astoria @MatthewAstoria]

I opened the build and this menu spawned like it was tired of waiting for me. I swear Pulse is developing features out of spite now. If it asks me to ‘sync my soul’ I’m closing the laptop and going to bed on the floor. #devlife #tireddev #commitgremlin #featureish #sendhelp

@MatthewAstoria Matthew, we’re scheduling a meeting titled ‘WHAT DID YOU DO.’
Attendance is mandatory.

[115 Studios @115Studios]

@JC4lder @MatthewAstoria We have added "Matthew panic detection" to the road map. Early tests show 100% trigger rate!

[Matthew Astoria @MatthewAstoria]

The heartbeat line moved. I’m choosing to interpret that as a threat.

@MatthewAstoria We've opened a ticket for Matthew's life choices. Severity: Critical.

[Matthew Astoria @MatthewAstoria]

They’re reviewing Pulse. I’m reviewing my life choices. @115Studios
