Pink Room

A lot of good engineering happens in moments like this.

Working through an issue.
Calling a teammate over because something’s behaving in a way nobody expected.
Turning a code review into a longer conversation about how something should really be built.

Different projects, same way of working.

More on how we work via the link in bio.

Two sides of Pink Hub.

One is a tech hub in Coimbra, standing desks, fast WiFi, coffee included. A proper place to work, with plans that fit however you work.

The other is the community that’s already here. Founders, engineers, designers, people building things. Events, talks, and the kind of conversations that happen when you put the right people in the same room.

On the 17th of June, the door is open. Come work with us for a day, for free.

AI is already part of how we build at Pink Room.

Not as a shortcut, but as part of how we plan, implement, validate, and ship mobile products.

Our approach is simple:

Plan with broad context.
Implement with tight scope.
Validate with human judgement.

Because moving faster only matters if the work stays reliable.

Our new website is live!

After 8 years and 50+ apps shipped, it was time to give our website the attention it deserved.

A sharper, more intentional reflection of our work, our mobile-first approach, and the team we’ve become over the years.

Same Pink Room, clearer story.
Take a look at pinkroom.dev

If we were a little slower to reply last week, this is probably why.

The whole team got out of Coimbra for a few days, to slow down a bit, spend time together, and get out of our usual Slack-and-meetings rhythm.

Good food, time to properly catch up, talk about what’s next, and just enjoy being outside the usual work routine.

Back now, and very glad we went ✌️

Pink Hub, Coimbra.
It’s our office. It’s also a tech hub with desks for rent, open to founders, engineers, designers, and company teams.
Designated desk if you want a fixed spot. Flexible desk if you only need to drop in a few times a month.
Events and talks throughout the year.

→ Open Day on the 13th of May — come spend a day for free and see if it’s for you.

Payroll doesn’t move fast. Earned wage access has to.

With Aslan, we built a mobile-first platform that lets employees access their wages before payday, fully integrated with payroll systems and compliant with UK regulations (FCA, PCI, app store policies).

Some of the challenges we tackled:
• Payment rails with Tribe Payments & Monavate
• Apple Pay & Google Pay via Mea Wallet
• High availability under strict compliance
• In-app marketplace with rewards
• Education hub for financial wellbeing

React Native on mobile.
Java + AWS on the backend.

Built to scale. Built for a regulated world.

We’re joining Guardião as a partner and investor, supporting their mission to protect families from digital fraud.

We’ll be contributing to the development of Guardião, a product focused on detecting and blocking scam calls and fraudulent messages before they ever reach the user.

At Pink Room, we’ve spent the past years building mobile products where reliability, security, and real-world impact matter.
Guardião is exactly that kind of product.

We’re excited to be part of this mission and to help build something that can make a real difference.

8 years of Pink Room.

A day with the team, and an evening with the community and friends.

Time to slow down, catch up, and be together, followed by a full house with people who’ve been part of the journey.

Thank you for being part of these 8 years. ❤️

We’ve been rethinking how we present Pink Room.

The way we build hasn’t changed, but how we talk about it needed to.

A clearer view of our work, our process, and our focus on mobile.

More soon 👀
