The next chapter in web development

Game Studios have been relying on high-quality visual tools to deliver the best possible video games for decades. Why should web development be any different?

The World's first Web Development Engine

Nordcraft is for web development what Unreal Engine is for game development: a tool to create AAA web apps.

They figured it out 30 years ago

"Game studios figured it out over 30 years ago—Designers and Engineers should work in the same tool. Instead of design handoffs and duplicate work, everyone focuses on what they do best. The studios didn't turn to Unreal Engine to avoid writing code. They wanted to raise the bar for what they could deliver."

How useless apps teach you how to program faster

It's hard to learn new things like programming. Unlike Neo, you can’t just plug into The Matrix and instantly know how to develop — maybe someday, but not yet.

Walk the Talk

Don't just chat about it, build it

LLMs are great tools, not great Developers. Great Developers wield many tools to build great software, they don't just prompt one.

Programming is magical, but it is not magic

AI "vibe coding" enables quick app creation, but lacks the control of traditional development. Developers ensure reliability, which AI alone can't provide.

They lied to you. Building software is really hard.

Every week there seems to be a new tool that promises to let anyone build applications 10x faster. The promise is always the same and so is the outcome.
