We're a small Kansas City studio building practical tools for the people who do real work — and a few we just want to make. Site-survey software for the low-voltage trades. Custom AV plugins for Lua-driven control systems. Consumer apps that actually solve real problems. And, next fiscal year, a game.
Carbide Coding LLC is a small, focused software studio. We build for niches the consumer-software world tends to skip past — and we ship.
Our work spans documentation software for low-voltage life-safety and security trades, custom plugins for Lua-based audio/video control systems, and practical consumer apps for everyday problems. A game is in active development and slated for release within the next fiscal year.
We're US-registered in Kansas, building software the way we'd want it built: durable, well-documented, respectful of the people using it. No tracking-for-tracking's-sake. No half-finished features pushed to hit a quarter. We finish what we start, and we sign our name to it.

plotdock.app ↗Small. Useful. Everyday.
Practical apps that solve specific real-world problems — the kind of utilities people open without thinking about it and that never get in the way. First up: Lumendrop, mirroring an Android screen to any Windows PC over your own Wi-Fi.
See the apps →Custom modules for Lua-based control systems
Custom plugins and components for Lua-driven audio/video control platforms. Built for integrators who need behavior the stock libraries don't cover — designed to drop in cleanly, log usefully, and survive a long deployment life. Engineered by someone who's done the install work, not just the integration paperwork.

We're making a game. It's been a long-running side project we're now committed to finishing and shipping. Title, platforms, and launch window will be announced when we can back them up — no promises we can't keep. Watch this space.
