Quiche Industries is a solo venture creating minimalist products for people who value thoughtful design and simplicity, all named after my favorite pie because why not.
Principles
-
Built with purpose
Each product is a work of love, crafted for a single, well-defined purpose, prioritizing quality, beauty, and simplicity over unnecessary complexity.
-
Encourage mindful digital consumption
Empowering users to reclaim their time and reduce digital noise, instead of contributing to doomscrolling, mindless consumption, or gamification that rewards toxic habits.
-
Designed from instinct
Guided by intuition and direct conversations with users, because data analysis and the latest trends don’t always know what’s best.
-
Values over features
Features are added when they align with a product’s core principles and unapologetically rejected when they don’t. Let’s all get comfortable being opinionated and saying “no.”
-
Independent and user-funded
Sustainably growing with direct support from users, without the influence of venture capital and absurd financial goals.
-
Keep your data for yourself
No data collection, no usage telemetry, no tracking, no signup, and no AI trained on your data, since apparently that’s a thing now.
About
I’m Greg de J, a Frenchman living in Tokyo, and I left a comfy job at Google to fulfill my dream of building products aligned with my values. Quiche Industries isn’t just a project; it’s a reflection of the life I’m building: one that values the joy of creating beautiful things with silly names.
