Strategy-led software. Native apps from the Laravel stack you already trust.
Always Curious is a technology consultancy based in Richmond, Virginia. They work across software strategy, platform architecture, and creative design for teams in fintech, field service, aerospace, nonprofit, and live events.
Every engagement starts with one question: what's the simplest path that will still be the right answer in three years? NativePHP is often that answer. It lets their clients turn proven Laravel codebases and teams into real native apps without standing up a second stack.
Featured Project: Event Ticket Scanner
Door check-in for Event Tickets (The Events Calendar plugin), built entirely in Laravel with NativePHP for Mobile v4. Point the camera at a ticket and get an unmistakable full-screen answer: green for admit, amber for already checked in (with who and when), red for invalid, each with its own haptic buzz. No Wi-Fi at the venue? It keeps scanning with offline mode.
- Truly native UI: screens are rendered with NativePHP's EDGE components (native top bar, tabs, lists and dialogs), not a webview.
- Native hardware from PHP: continuous QR scanning, haptics, and keychain-backed credential storage through NativePHP facades.
- Pair in one scan: scan a QR code in WordPress admin to connect a device. No passwords typed at the door.
- Offline-first: attendees live on-device and every check-in is recorded locally, queued, and synced when the connection returns.
- More than a scanner: attendee search, manual check-in and undo, and live event stats.
Stack: Laravel, NativePHP Mobile v4 (SuperNative), SQLite, and a companion WordPress plugin sharing one OpenAPI contract.
