Founder · built and maintained independently · May 2026 — now
Visit vieauqc.com ↗VieauQc started from a simple observation: most settlement information exists, but it is scattered across PDFs, forums and government pages written for people who already know the system.
The platform brings the useful parts together — province-wide and city guides, checklists, calculators, document templates, audio versions for people who prefer to listen, and resources for learning Québec French — and keeps the language plain. It is built with Next.js and TypeScript on the front end, Cloudflare Workers and D1 for data, and R2 for audio storage.
Process
Talk to the people who will use it. Map the messy middle before choosing a stack.
Wireframes, copy and data model first. Complexity gets added only when it earns its place.
Small commits, real devices, honest feedback. Ship early enough to learn.
Watch how it is used, fix the sharp edges, and keep the code easy to change.
