Reliability
We favour proven, well-understood building blocks and boring infrastructure over novelty. Things should work the same way tomorrow as they do today.
Technology company
Straightforward technology, run with care.
Tadpole is a small technology company. We build and operate straightforward internet services on open standards, with reliability and privacy treated as basics, not features.
About
Small on purpose. Careful by default.
We keep the company small so the work stays close to the people doing it. That means fewer moving parts, decisions we can explain, and services we understand end to end.
Privacy
We consider privacy from the start, not as an add-on. Our sites carry no ads and no tracking pixels.
Straightforward technology
Open standards, plain language and no lock-in. You should be able to see how a service works and use it with the tools you already have.
Mission
To make internet services people can rely on and understand.
Products
What we run
