digital agency · product lab · research studio

We grow ideas into apps, websites & research.

Lingdu Labs designs and builds web apps, mobile apps and websites, and takes on research projects, for startups, businesses and institutions. Like a fern uncurling along a Fibonacci spiral, every project starts as a small curl of an idea and opens into something real.

hi! i'm lingdu 🌿
what we do

Three branches, one root.

We build our own products, deliver digital projects for clients, and run serious research. Each branch makes the others sharper.

Build

Web apps, mobile apps and SaaS products, designed, coded and shipped in-house, from idea to launch.

  • web apps
  • mobile apps
  • SaaS
  • APIs

Studio

Digital work for clients: websites, mobile apps, custom software and research projects, for businesses, startups and organisations.

  • websites
  • mobile apps
  • custom software
  • research projects

Research

Mathematics, algorithms, data and open standards: work that's written up, cited and built to last.

how things grow here

From seed to forest.

01

Seed

We listen, sketch and figure out what's worth building.

02

Sprout

A quick, working prototype you can actually click.

03

Uncurl

Design, build and launch, opening up one frond at a time.

04

Forest

Hosting, care and steady growth long after launch day.

from the lab notebook

Research we're scribbling on.

Mathematics, algorithms, data and open standards, worked out on paper first, then written up properly.

mathematics

Collatz-style maps for Mersenne multipliers

What happens to qn+1 when q is 7, 15, 31…? Patterns, cycles and proofs in progress.

patterns & sequences

Fibonacci Sprout

A branching sequence of compositions that grows like a fern frond, with an OEIS entry.

open data

OEIS contributions

New integer sequences, defined, computed and published for anyone to build on.

algebra

Hurwitz quaternion multiplicatively perfect numbers

Taking "perfect numbers" into the non-commutative world of quaternions, and listing them for the first time.

classification

Zero-insertion story

Which numbers divide every zero-insertion, in every base? Extending a published base-10 result to a full classification.

open standards

Internet-Drafts

MEDICS and OEPB written up as IETF Internet-Drafts, so others can implement them.

the studio

Your idea, built properly.

Whether you need a website, a mobile app, custom software or a research project done right, we take it from first sketch to finished, working product.

  • Websites designed around your brand, fast and easy to find
  • Mobile apps for Android and iOS, from prototype to store launch
  • Custom software: dashboards, tools, integrations and APIs
  • Research projects: literature reviews, data analysis, algorithms and write-ups
