Our Engineering Stack

React Native: One App for All

We use React Native to create a single, consistent codebase for both iOS and Android. This means features roll out faster, and we can maintain a cohesive user experience across all devices.

Key Benefits

• Rapid development
• Unified design language
• Efficient updates for mobile

Relay: Streamlined Data Fetching

Relay keeps our data flow simple. By defining clear queries and leveraging GraphQL, we minimize over-fetching and ensure each screen loads exactly what it needs. This boosts performance and makes our code more predictable.

We are proud users of the Relay stack, and thrilled to be featured in the Relay User Showcase.

Maximizing Customer Value

As a small team, we rely on fast iteration and continuous feedback to keep us laser-focused on delivering tangible value. Every line of code must serve a clear purpose, whether it’s enhancing goal-tracking features, improving journaling tools, or refining AI-assisted suggestions. Our users guide us through beta feedback, bug reports, and feature requests.

Ruby on Rails: Robust and Reliable Backend

Ruby on Rails powers our server-side logic, turning ideas into features quickly. We rely on its well-known conventions, security features, and extensive community to focus on delivering real customer value rather than reinventing the wheel.

Privacy and Performance at Our Core

No matter which tools we pick, user safety and privacy guide every technical choice. We encrypt sensitive data, apply strict access controls, and continuously tune performance so Steep feels fast and secure at all times.

Why This Trio Works

Unified Codebase: Fewer silos, faster iteration

Predictable Data Flow: Relay’s GraphQL keeps the front-end clean and efficient

Proven Backend: Rails lets us focus on features instead of boilerplate

At Steep, our small team makes big impact by choosing tools that support simplicity, reliability, and user trust—so you can focus on personal growth without worrying about the tech behind it.
