we occasionally post about technicalities, behind the scenes, fun things, and everything in between!

our philosophy.

simple is superior.

Albert Einstein
“Everything should be made as simple as possible, but not simpler.” - Albert Einstein
Terry A. Davis
“An idiot admires complexity, a genius admires simplicity.” - Terry A. Davis
Simple can be harder than complex: You have to work hard to get your thinking clean to make it simple.” - Steve Jobs

at niko's techlabs, we believe in...

  • keeping things simple
  • being as transparent as possible
  • respecting privacy and safety
  • prioritizing user experience over profits
  • learning from user feedback
because we build what we love, for people we care about.
The Parottu app's code and Connect feature

how we redefine modern software

software nowadays is pretty shit.


it's filled with:

  • annoying AI slop - we're building for people, not investors
  • paywalls and extreme restrictions
  • slow, bloated interfaces

and it's run by publicly traded giant corps, who wouldn't hesitate to sell your sensitive info to the highest bidder.

no more ai slop.

we only use discriminative artificial intelligence for things such as content moderation, and prohibit any ai generated content from being posted on our platforms.

we aim to keep our monetization
non-obtrusive.
you pay for improvements rather than for unlocking major features.

no more sluggish interfaces.

look how we simplified our project - Parottu.
