We Don’t Just Repair Systems. We Restore Meaning.

Digital infrastructure ages. We help you care for it.

Repairka works with NGOs, community platforms, and creative studios to restore neglected codebases, lost documentation, and inaccessible interfaces. Our work is restoration as resistance — against obsolescence, planned forgetting, and exploitative churn.

Start With What You Have

Philosophy

Repair Is a Cultural Act

Most digital systems aren't broken — Most digital systems aren't broken — they’ve just been forgotten, overwritten, or designed to age quickly.
At Repairka, we resist this cycle.
We treat systems like archives, design like craft, and repair like cultural preservation.

We believe in:

Code Longevity over velocity
Accessible UIs over shiny redesigns
Structural Memory over rebranding
Consentful technology over data grabs

What We Do

We’re Not Just Devs. We’re Restorers.

Layer Service

Interface Accessibility retrofits, mobile-first upgrades, semantic HTML
Logic Refactoring for clarity, audit trails, non-destructive rewrites
Documentation Rebuilding user guides, changelogs, ethical use cases
Ethics Interface consent design, local-first architectures
Capacity Training orgs to care for their own infrastructure

Formats:

2-day workshops, 5-day sprints, and long-term stewardship partnerships

Memory Cases

Before & After Doesn’t Capture the Whole Story

Feminist Forum Archive (Global South)

From Flash-based memory to living, multilingual repository
→ Result: 87 oral history videos now accessible on mobile

School Platform (Rural Europe)

Legacy PHP → Lightweight progressive web app
→ Result: Worked on 2G bandwidth, +41% family access

Netlabel Catalog (2000–2010)

Restored broken download links, embedded audio
→ Result: 480+ tracks now freely available under open licenses

Why This Matters

Digital Tools Should Grow, Not Expire.

Modern tech stacks are often designed to decay fast — to be replaced, not maintained. This creates waste, confusion, and dependency.

We see another path.
You don’t have to start from scratch.
You can teach your team to maintain what you have.
You should be able to trust your tools.

“Most tech is a graveyard of forgotten ideas.
Repairka helps ideas stay alive.”

The Repair Ethic

Slow Tech. Deep Trust.

Clarity

No black boxes,
no jargon-filled fixes

Continuity

We preserve what works before replacing what doesn’t

Context

Every system we repair reflects who built it, and why

Care

Our goal isn’t to scale — it’s to support, document, and maintain
