Hi everyone, we are CRANQ, founded in 2021 with offices in London and Budapest. Our mission is to build the very best graphical coding interface for the back-end, making coding easier and faster, and improving communication.

Javascript ninja Dan Stocker and entrepreneur Toby Rowland met while working on Mangahigh.com, the successful maths eLearning site, now acquired by Westermann Publishing Gmbh. After leaving Mangahigh for HSBC, Dan became fascinated by the accelerating low-code movement, but was disappointed that existing low-code tools were designed for non-technical personnel. Dan thinks that some elements of low-code are helpful for developers who want to code faster, and importantly, help developers to explain and share their work with non-technical stakeholders. After months of research, Dan developed a proof-of-concept for a general-purpose graphical programming IDE, and showed it to Toby, who immediately saw CRANQ's potential, and agreed to join the project as CEO.

Thanks to Dan's background in Hungary, the team were able to recruit veteran developer and tech manager Csaba Kallai, and tap into Csaba's network of talented developers around Budapest. CRANQ is now entering its beta phase, and actively working with curious developers.
