Long time no see.

It has been a while since we last shared something here. As usual, this does not mean nothing happened. Actually, quite the opposite. A lot has changed at Kodventure.

The biggest change is probably the way we work.

We are still a software company. We still love Laravel, Vue, PHP, servers, databases, and all the usual suspects. But slowly, almost naturally, our daily work has started to move around AI. Not as a fancy slogan, not as a buzzword on a presentation slide, but as a real part of our development process.

AI is no longer just a tool we ask questions to from time to time. It has become something like a teammate. Sometimes a very fast junior developer. Sometimes a patient reviewer. Sometimes a strange but useful rubber duck that actually writes code back.

Because of this shift, we also started building new projects in a very different way.

One of them is Okabi, a school parent-teacher association management system. It is a project born from real-life needs, meetings, papers, payments, decisions, and all the small but important details that schools have to manage.

Another one is TurniGym, a gym and sports club management platform. It is still early, but we believe it has strong potential, especially for small and medium-sized sports businesses that need something practical and modern.

The interesting part is this: both projects are being developed almost entirely with AI-assisted workflows. Of course, we still make the decisions, design the structure, test the results, and fix the weird parts. But the speed, rhythm, and feeling of development are completely different now.

It feels like the company is slowly transforming.

And while all this is happening, we also welcomed our first intern: Emirhan.

This is a small but meaningful milestone for us. We have had new team members before, but having our first intern feels different. It reminds us that Kodventure is not only a place where we build products, but also a place where people can learn, try, make mistakes, improve, and hopefully enjoy the adventure.

So yes, long time no see.

But we are still here.

A little more experienced, a little more AI-powered, and still building things with excitement.

Welcome to Kodventure, Emirhan.

And stay tuned — we have more to share soon.

Thanks to AI, our birthday celebrations have developed a funny new habit. Here’s our official employee #003, Remle, and her cartoon! 🎉

We might be a little late celebrating this time — sorry about that! 😅

Don’t worry though, I’ll just “fix” the publish date so that in the future you won’t even notice…

Oh wait, did I just mention that? Oops.

Happy birthday, Remle! 🥳

As a small company, I wish we could get together more often. Then we could do more for our employee #002, Dilek, and have a cake together for her birthday.

We’ll have cake, Dilek, even if it’s in her absence. Don’t worry, because tomorrow is our twins Ömer and Faruk’s birthday too. Actually, it’s the next day, but they have school that day.

Happy birthday, Dilek.🥳

Something new is happening…
We sold our old cars, a 2006 Mercedes Vito and a 2016 Kia Soul, and decided to pass the electric car world.

Our new car is a Togg T10X. Togg is a brand-new Turkish car company. The T10X is an SUV and the company calls this vehicle not only a car but a “device”. Because it has 4 big screens, multiple cameras, and sensors it deserves the adjective. T10X has an Android operating system inside.

With this new car, we not only moved into the world of electric cars, but as a company, we also decided to move into the world of gaming. We want to develop our games for Togg’s app ecosystem first. Then we will extend our games to both the AppStore and Google Play Store.

What do we have now?
We have a new trademark: Trip Games. It is fresh out of the oven. My first and only employee, which is my wife, made this. We have been developing the games for two weeks. We will take the cars from the distribution center, tomorrow. If we see the manager of the factory’s software team then we can sign a protocol to prepare the car for the developing purpose.

We are very excited about these. Let’s see what will happen.

As we have added CURL support for our gooo.to project why don’t we try to make a CURL-based Wordle? Actually, we did it.

There is only one thing about the game: it is Turkish. It took only one day to finish. We can add something to do it better but it seems ok now. You can use it like:

CURL wrdle.org/WORD

Our company is two years old now. We are doing good and we hope we will open up our big project to global this year.

It is not a new trend but we saw some cool services that are command-line friendly like wttr.in, rate.sx, thanks to CURL. And we decided to put a similar functionality to our lovely and lonely URL shortener and link hub service gooo.to.

After a little update now you can shortener your long link to a small one by like this:

# curl gooo.to\?https://btmagazin.net/elektrikli-otomobil-markamiz-togg-sedan-otomobilini-ces-2022-fuarinda-tanitti/

Here is the result:
