Practicality over polish.
Softropix is an independent software studio. We build programs for Windows and apps for iOS, and in every one of them we answer for the result ourselves — no middlemen, no borrowed decisions inside.
Our approach rests on rational design: an application solves one specific task and never burdens the person with needless complexity. Minimalism in technology — and maximum use for whoever relies on it.
Principles
What it rests on
four rules we never bend
Architecture
The structure is thought through before the first line of code. A decision made at the start costs less than ten fixes later.
Reliability
A program has to behave the same in its first week and in its third year. Stability matters more than a list of features in the description.
Minimalism
Every feature has to justify its presence. If one person in a hundred needs it, it belongs in the settings, not on the main screen.
Honesty
We do not collect data we do not need, and we say plainly what does go to the server when there is no way around it.
How it is made
The site about itself
Principles are easy to declare. Below is what can be checked: the numbers are counted from the repository itself on every start, not typed in by hand.
A fragment from AutoWin
Eight lines the file will not work without
Windows reads the answer file as XML. A single ampersand in a password, and the installer quietly refuses to apply it, telling the person nothing.
This function runs in the generator right now. The order of replacements matters: the ampersand goes first, otherwise the sequences already substituted get mangled a second time.
// Characters forbidden in XML 1.0.
var XML_FORBIDDEN = /[\x00-\x08\x0B\x0C\x0E-\x1F]/g;
function esc(value) {
return String(value)
.replace(XML_FORBIDDEN, '')
.replace(/&/g, '&')
.replace(/</g, '<')
.replace(/>/g, '>')
.replace(/"/g, '"');
}

AutoWin
A generator of the answer file for the unattended installation of Windows 10 and 11. You tick the settings you need — telemetry, interface, services, the user account — and get a finished file. The system sets itself up before you ever see the desktop.
Runs entirely in the browser: not a single value you enter goes to the server.
