Studio

A magazine room for mobile craft

think-core.one started as a late-night device lab beside Pu Tzu Street—phones stacked like magazines, each spine labeled with GPU quirks. We still review that way: small cohorts, loud critique, quiet documentation.

Principles

Devices over decks

If it does not show on a mid-tier phone, it is not done.

Graphs in public

State diagrams are shared early—no surprise architecture on week five.

Release as rehearsal

Store copy and crash budgets get the same rigor as widgets.

Capstone with receipts

Ship-room tracks end with artifacts: scripts, rollback notes, reviewer Q&A.

Timeline

  • 2019 — First Flutter salon nights in Taichung; borrowed devices from partner cafes.
  • 2022 — Formalized mentor rotations and Riverpod-first curricula for mixed Android/iOS cohorts.
  • 2026 — Release observatory blocks added for teams facing quarterly store deadlines.
