- Nuxt32
Nuxt is the default frontend framework for almost every Remiam project — client sites, paid SaaS products, kiosk apps, event activations, the studio's own marketing pages, and most internal tools. It pairs Vue 3 with Nitro, the deployment-target-agnostic server engine, so the same codebase can ship as a static site, a server-rendered app, or a hybrid edge build depending on what the brief demands. Remiam has shipped on Nuxt 2 (the legacy live-event work), Nuxt 3 (most current client work), and Nuxt 4 (the latest products and this site). The ecosystem — Nuxt UI, Nuxt Image, Nuxt Fonts, Nuxt Content, Nuxt Studio — is consistent enough that the same engineer can move between a kiosk activation and a marketing page without retooling.
22 clients6 products4 notes - Hardware21
Hardware integration is in the studio's DNA — Arduino, Raspberry Pi, DMX lighting, transparent OLEDs, GPIO-controlled solenoids, USB scanners, capture cards. If it talks over USB, GPIO, serial, or MIDI, Remiam has probably bridged it. The team runs an in-house hardware lab (the Innovation Cabin) that lets the studio prototype on real components before committing to an installation. The hardware notes catalogue covers everything from Apple Silicon to Snapdragon X Elite to Raspberry Pi.
8 clients13 notes - Adobe XD14
Adobe XD was Remiam's primary design tool through 2018–2024 — used end-to-end for the LinkedIn talent experience, the Norton Motorcycles rebrand quiz, the Play to Win activation, the Heritage Quiz Journey, the Spin Booth, the Sprint Lane, and dozens of client systems. Adobe announced XD as no longer in active development in 2023, and the studio has migrated new work to Figma since — but historical work catalogued here was largely shipped in XD. The notes catalogue includes the studio's view on the XD-to-Figma transition.
12 clients2 notes - Apple14
Remiam covers Apple's hardware and platform shifts in detail in the notes — Apple Silicon from the 2020 announcement through to the five-year retrospective, iPad Pro M4, Vision Pro, the iPhone X, the HomePod, SwiftUI, and how the studio chooses Apple kit for the team. The team runs on M-series MacBooks; iPads are the primary touch surface for installations; Mac minis run several on-prem installations as host machines.
14 notes - Nuxt 314
All Remiam work tagged Nuxt 3 — across client systems, own products, and the studio's field notes.
14 clients - Installation12
Physical-digital installations are a Remiam staple — kiosks, transparent OLEDs, lockbox-controlled escape rooms, 4K touchscreens, photo booths, multi-iPad networks. Software plus hardware plus venue, integrated end-to-end. The studio has shipped permanent installations at iconic London venues (The Landmark Quiz), worldwide retail tours (Field Discovery, Play to Win, Trophy Tour), and one-off bespoke builds (Cipher Room, Anatomy Window). Each is delivered as a redeployable bundle — same software, configurable per venue, with operational documentation for the on-site team.
12 clients - TypeScript12
TypeScript is the default for any Remiam project with more than a single page of logic. Every new client build, every product, every internal script is TS-first — partly for editor-level safety, partly because the type system pays for itself when data shapes evolve across a long-lived client system. The studio treats `any` as a smell, lints strictly, and uses Nuxt's auto-generated types via `nuxt prepare` so types flow from API to UI without manual stubbing.
10 clients1 product1 note - Supabase11
Supabase is Remiam's default backend platform — Postgres at the core, with auth, storage, edge functions, and realtime channels layered on top. The studio reaches for it on almost every paid SaaS product (SAMRISK, Build The Day, Hero Mode AI) and a large slice of client work where the brief needs structured data + auth + uploads without standing up bespoke infrastructure. Row-level security policies handle multi-tenancy; the JS SDK keeps the frontend type-safe; edge functions run server logic without a dedicated backend team. The studio's notes catalogue includes a deep-dive on why we mostly use Supabase now.
8 clients2 products1 note - Tailwind11
Tailwind is the utility-first CSS layer behind almost every Remiam frontend shipped since 2022. The studio pairs it with Nuxt UI (Tailwind 4 under the hood) and a small set of design tokens defined via `@theme` in CSS so the system has one source of truth for colour, spacing, type and radii. The notes catalogue includes the studio's opinion on why we still write hand-rolled CSS alongside Tailwind — neither alone is enough.
6 clients3 products2 notes - AWS S310
All Remiam work tagged AWS S3 — across client systems, own products, and the studio's field notes.
8 clients2 products - Industry10
Notes about the wider industry — platform shifts, remote work, tooling changes, what's happening across the studios, agencies, and product teams Remiam talks with. Written as field reports from a working studio rather than think-pieces.
10 notes - Architecture9
All Remiam work tagged Architecture — across client systems, own products, and the studio's field notes.
9 notes - Express8
All Remiam work tagged Express — across client systems, own products, and the studio's field notes.
8 clients - Apple Silicon7
Five-plus years of Apple Silicon in the studio, documented across multiple notes. From 'the bet' essay in 2020 (when the M1 announcement landed) to the 'how Apple Silicon actually works' deep dive on the unified-memory model, to retrospectives on M-series machines in production five years on. The team's day-to-day build machines and several on-prem installations run on M-series chips.
7 notes - PWA7
Progressive Web Apps are how Remiam ships installable-but-web experiences — Totton Timber on Google Play via a Trusted Web Activity (TWA), the offline-first event tools that cache locally via service workers and sync to the cloud when wifi returns, the kiosk-mode installs that go full-screen on first launch. The studio uses Vite PWA inside Nuxt for the service worker generation and offline-asset caching.
5 clients2 notes - SEO7
SEO is treated as a deliverable, not an afterthought. Remiam ships static-rendered marketing surfaces with structured data (Organization, WebSite + SearchAction, BreadcrumbList, Article/BlogPosting, SoftwareApplication, CollectionPage + ItemList, FAQPage where relevant), proper sitemaps with per-route lastmod/changefreq/priority, OG images per section, robots.txt configured correctly, and canonical tags on every page. Built for clients and the studio's own products alike. The notes catalogue includes the studio's view on SEO for bespoke systems.
4 clients3 notes - Capacitor6
Capacitor is how Remiam ships native iOS and Android apps from a single Nuxt codebase. The studio reaches for it whenever an event activation, retail kiosk, or field-sales app needs to run as a real installable native app — App Store, Play Store, or an MDM-side-loaded enterprise build — without rewriting the UI in Swift or Kotlin. It's powered most of the multi-iPad systems Remiam has built in the last two years: the Cipher Room escape-room iPads, Field Discovery, the Reaction Pad kiosks, and many more. The native plugin layer (camera, haptics, filesystem, share, status bar) gives reliable native integration where it matters.
2 clients3 products1 note - Comparisons6
Remiam writes honest head-to-head technical comparisons — Nuxt vs Next, NativeScript vs React Native, Figma vs Adobe XD, Headless CMS vs WordPress, Supabase vs Firebase, Capacitor vs Expo. Each one is grounded in actual shipping experience on both sides, not synthetic benchmarks. The studio also revisits these comparisons years later to see which calls aged well.
6 notes - iPad6
iPads are the default touch surface Remiam reaches for at events — Capacitor-wrapped Nuxt apps in kiosk-mode covers, from cipher escape rooms (four iPads facing each other around a lockbox) to player-card challenges (one iPad per challenge station) to multi-station retail discovery (one iPad per route). The studio keeps an inventory of iPad Pros and iPad Airs that get re-skinned and re-deployed across events.
4 clients2 notes - Looking Back6
Retrospective notes from the studio — what we shipped, what we learned, what we'd do again. Some are technical post-mortems; some are platform-shift recaps (the death of Internet Explorer, the Apple Silicon transition complete in 2023, the Adobe XD wind-down); all are honest.
6 notes - Nostalgia6
Notes on the technology that shaped the team before Remiam existed — the N64 and its three-prong controller, the iPod Shuffle and iPod Nano, BlackBerry's keyboard empire, the Nokia 3310, when 3D TVs were a thing. Reminiscence with a technical eye on how the design choices in those products either aged well or didn't.
6 notes - Nuxt UI 26
All Remiam work tagged Nuxt UI 2 — across client systems, own products, and the studio's field notes.
6 clients - Vue6
Vue 3 is the component layer underneath every Remiam frontend. The studio picked Vue over React years ago for the cohesion of its ecosystem — Nuxt for the meta-framework, Pinia for stores, Nuxt UI for components, Vue Router for routing, Vite under the hood. The composition API and Single-File Components keep the developer experience consistent between a small marketing site and a 10-feature internal tool. Remiam writes a lot of Vue, and writes about it too — the notes catalogue includes the Vue 3 Composition API in-production essay and Nuxt-vs-Next revisited several years apart.
1 client1 product4 notes - Design5
Design notes — kinetic typography, brand systems, dark-mode-everywhere, the eye-tracking research lab the studio runs, form design as conversion, the Apple-Vision-Pro design language, view transitions. The studio cares about design as engineering, not decoration.
5 notes - iOS5
All Remiam work tagged iOS — across client systems, own products, and the studio's field notes.
1 client2 products2 notes - Mobile5
Notes about mobile development — NativeScript, React Native, Capacitor, iPad Pro hardware, Surface Pro X, the changing shape of cross-platform development. The studio has shipped on NativeScript (Trax), Capacitor (most current mobile work), and natively where the brief required.
1 client4 notes - Mongo5
All Remiam work tagged Mongo — across client systems, own products, and the studio's field notes.
4 clients1 product - Nuxt.js5
All Remiam work tagged Nuxt.js — across client systems, own products, and the studio's field notes.
5 clients - Vue 35
All Remiam work tagged Vue 3 — across client systems, own products, and the studio's field notes.
5 clients - Web5
Notes about the web platform itself — View Transitions API, container queries, variable fonts, browser engines, Chrome Manifest V3, the 25-years-of-browsers retrospective. The substrate Remiam ships almost everything on, and the bit the team cares about getting right.
5 notes - AI4
Remiam has been shipping AI in production since 2023 — starting with Finding Mastery Bot in the earliest days of the OpenAI API, when LangChain was still pre-1.0 and 'production retrieval' was barely a phrase. The studio's approach is grounded: AI earns its place where it does something humans genuinely can't (or shouldn't, repeatedly) — drafting, summarisation, retrieval over a private corpus, image labelling, content classification. The notes catalogue documents this view in detail across multiple essays, and the work itself spans Finding Mastery's editorial chatbot, the Recruit Pipeline MVP's enrichment layer, the experimental Segment Analyzer (GPT-4 Vision over scraped retail interiors), and several client features that aren't named publicly.
3 clients1 note - Analytics4
All Remiam work tagged Analytics — across client systems, own products, and the studio's field notes.
2 clients2 notes - Android4
All Remiam work tagged Android — across client systems, own products, and the studio's field notes.
1 client2 products1 note - Chart.js4
All Remiam work tagged Chart.js — across client systems, own products, and the studio's field notes.
4 clients - CMS4
CMS architecture — headless (Sanity, Strapi, Directus, Payload, Nuxt Content + Studio) vs WordPress, when to pick each, how Remiam structures content for clients who need to update without code. The decision matrix the studio uses is in the notes catalogue: team shape, editor experience, hosting constraints, and budget all factor in.
2 clients2 notes - Computer Vision4
Computer vision is one of Remiam's deeper specialisms — across CV-in-retail experiments, ML-on-device live activations, and post-hoc image analysis pipelines. Face the Date used facial-emotion recognition projected onto a heritage venue on UK Brexit night; the Westfield Ocean Explorers activation pose-tracked children inside the booth using TensorFlow.js + MediaPipe; the Segment Analyzer batches retail interior photography through GPT-4 Vision for label-and-percentage extraction; the Trax roadkill app uses image tagging server-side to enrich GPS-located records.
3 clients1 note - CSS4
CSS, design systems, container queries, variable fonts, the why-we-still-write-CSS argument in a Tailwind era. Remiam stays opinionated about styling and writes about it — when to drop into a hand-rolled CSS file vs when Tailwind utilities are enough, where CSS variables shine, how to ship a token system without a build step.
4 notes - Data4
All Remiam work tagged Data — across client systems, own products, and the studio's field notes.
4 clients - Design-Only4
Some Remiam projects are design-only: the studio delivers the experience design end-to-end in Figma or Adobe XD, and a separate production team builds and installs it. These projects are catalogued here because the design work itself shipped at scale — but credit for the build sits elsewhere. Spin Booth (a global beauty brand's UK + Ireland camera-rig tour), Sprint Lane (a global sportswear brand's Europe-wide 100m sprint activation), Speed Run (Norton Motorcycles' iPad rebrand-launch quiz), and the Heritage Quiz Journey all fall in this bucket.
4 clients - FontAwesome4
All Remiam work tagged FontAwesome — across client systems, own products, and the studio's field notes.
4 clients - Live Event4
Remiam has powered some of the UK's largest live broadcast and activation events — Britain's Got Talent's Virtual Audience (millions of viewers), Royal Variety, a sportswear × retailer UK-mall tour, a global tech-event activation in Las Vegas, an iconic-venue kids tour. Realtime, networked, calm under pressure. Every live event the studio ships goes through a pre-show dry-run protocol; the on-floor systems include manual-override modes so staff can keep the experience moving if a station hiccups.
4 clients - Mux Video4
All Remiam work tagged Mux Video — across client systems, own products, and the studio's field notes.
4 clients - NativeScript4
All Remiam work tagged NativeScript — across client systems, own products, and the studio's field notes.
1 client1 product2 notes - Node.js4
All Remiam work tagged Node.js — across client systems, own products, and the studio's field notes.
4 clients - Performance4
Performance notes — Core Web Vitals, bundle sizes, edge installations, what actually moves the needle in production. Engineered, not vibe-checked. Every Remiam-built marketing surface is benchmarked against Lighthouse and Real User Monitoring metrics; the notes catalogue includes practical guidance for clients shipping similar systems.
4 notes - Revisited4
Revisiting earlier notes years later — what we said about Nuxt vs Next in 2018 stacked against where it actually landed in 2025; what 'where VR is' looked like in 2018 vs after the Meta Quest 3 and Apple Vision Pro launched. Honest about what aged, what didn't, and what changed in the meantime.
4 notes - Stripe4
Stripe powers every payment surface Remiam ships — Build The Day weddings (wedding-site upgrades), GetVersed (Embedded Checkout for premium course tiers), Stage Stream (live-stream ticket sales for the schools-performance group), and several internal products. Embedded Checkout is the default for new builds — the JS SDK lifts payment UI into the client's brand without exposing PCI scope, and the webhook surface keeps order/subscription state consistent. The studio has shipped one-off purchases, subscriptions, multi-currency markets, and Connect-style platform payouts.
2 clients1 product1 note - VR4
Notes on the VR landscape from the studio's point of view — Meta Quest 2 as the standalone-VR moment, Meta Quest 3 with mixed reality, Valve Index as the PC-VR high-water mark, Apple Vision Pro and what consumer VR actually delivers in 2024–2025. Remiam doesn't ship VR client work today but watches the platform closely.
4 notes - WebRTC4
All Remiam work tagged WebRTC — across client systems, own products, and the studio's field notes.
2 clients2 notes - WordPress4
Some Remiam projects sit on WordPress — Wavsys (a US telecom rebuild), Scopeworker (a global infrastructure-workflow platform rebuild), rapid CMS rebuilds where the editing team already knows WordPress and the budget for retraining is zero. The notes catalogue covers WordPress 6 / Gutenberg, and where WordPress earns its place vs the headless CMS landscape in 2025.
2 clients2 notes - Arduino3
Arduino shows up where Remiam needs a small, dedicated microcontroller bridging the digital and physical — Virtual Santa's interactive Christmas-tree lights (kids picked the colour live, an Arduino pinged a custom API), an alternative socket-server variant for the Cipher Room escape rooms, prototype sensors for client builds. The studio writes Arduino sketches in C++ via the Arduino IDE and stores firmware in git alongside the higher-level Nuxt apps that talk to it.
2 clients1 note - ARM3
All Remiam work tagged ARM — across client systems, own products, and the studio's field notes.
3 notes - Brand3

1 client2 notes - Browsers3
All Remiam work tagged Browsers — across client systems, own products, and the studio's field notes.
3 notes - Cloud Functions3
All Remiam work tagged Cloud Functions — across client systems, own products, and the studio's field notes.
3 clients - Figma3
Figma is the default design tool Remiam reaches for on new client work since Adobe wound down XD. The team writes design systems directly in Figma, hands off via Figma's developer-mode inspection, and links Figma libraries to live token files in the codebase where appropriate. The notes catalogue includes Figma-vs-Adobe-XD comparisons across multiple years.
3 notes - Firebase3
Firebase shows up in older Remiam builds and where the brief specifically needed Firestore plus Cloud Functions plus a Mux pipeline — viewing platforms, ticketing systems, event-capture surfaces with public sharing. The Westfield Ocean Explorers viewing platform, the UEFA Women's Euros 2022 hype-tour platform, the Stage Stream ticketing system for the schools-performance group all sit on Firebase. The studio still picks it where realtime + auth + serverless functions are the brief, but defaults to Supabase for newer builds.
3 clients - Game3
All Remiam work tagged Game — across client systems, own products, and the studio's field notes.
3 clients - Installations3
All Remiam work tagged Installations — across client systems, own products, and the studio's field notes.
3 notes - Kiosk3
Kiosk-grade builds — auto-launching Chrome, idle-warning resets, on-screen keyboards (kioskboard), gesture lockdown, 4K touchscreens, PWA installs — are how Remiam delivers public-facing software that runs unattended for a season at a venue. Each kiosk app is hardened against the failure modes that actually happen on the floor: someone unplugs the network, a visitor pinch-zooms, a kid hammers the buttons. The Landmark Quiz, Reaction Pad, Field Discovery, the Vegas Activation Suite, and the Cipher Room iPads all run as kiosks.
3 clients - Leaderboard3
All Remiam work tagged Leaderboard — across client systems, own products, and the studio's field notes.
3 clients - Marketing Tech3
All Remiam work tagged Marketing Tech — across client systems, own products, and the studio's field notes.
3 notes - Mux3
Mux is the video infrastructure Remiam reaches for whenever video has to be uploaded, transcoded, served at scale, and analysed — the broadcast pipeline behind the UEFA Women's Euros viewing platform, the Westfield Ocean Explorers parental-share feed, the GetVersed LMS lesson player, and the schools-performance Stage Stream live broadcasts. Mux's API-first model lets the studio plug video into a Nuxt frontend without standing up an encoding cluster, and its data layer gives clients real engagement metrics, not just play counts.
3 clients - Nuxt 23
All Remiam work tagged Nuxt 2 — across client systems, own products, and the studio's field notes.
3 clients - Nuxt UI3
All Remiam work tagged Nuxt UI — across client systems, own products, and the studio's field notes.
2 products1 note - OpenAI3
OpenAI APIs back most of the AI work Remiam ships — GPT-4 Vision powers the Segment Analyzer's interior-photography labelling pipeline, GPT-4 handles content drafting and retrieval-augmented chat for Finding Mastery Bot, and the older GPT-3.5 era models powered the 2023 work when the bar for 'production-grade LLM' was set there. The studio uses the OpenAI Node SDK directly for tight integrations, and LangChain on top when retrieval and chunking get complex.
2 clients1 product - Product Design3
All Remiam work tagged Product Design — across client systems, own products, and the studio's field notes.

3 clients - Quiz3
All Remiam work tagged Quiz — across client systems, own products, and the studio's field notes.
3 clients - Realtime3
Socket.io, Mux, WebRTC, Supabase realtime channels — Remiam wires events end-to-end where seconds matter. Live audience reactions, leaderboards that update across screens at the same venue, ingest pipelines that surface stats to a producer screen within a frame, multi-screen synchronisation so a goal scored on one display celebrates on the others.
