About Humanova
Humanova Apps is an independent product studio founded by designer and app developer Joshua Ross.
Since February 2026, I have conceived, designed, built and released four original Flutter and Dart apps across iOS and Android. I work across the full product lifecycle—from initial concept, feature design and UX/UI through AI-assisted implementation, integrations, testing, monetisation and store delivery.
My work includes Supabase and REST API integrations, RevenueCat, AdMob, TestFlight, App Store Connect and Google Play. My background in illustration and visual communication also shapes how every Humanova product looks, feels and communicates.
Thoughtful by design
Humanova creates software that respects people’s attention.
That means avoiding dark patterns, artificial urgency, manipulative notifications and engagement traps. Products should feel clear, transparent and worthwhile—whether they are practical, playful or experimental.
Calm is productive. Clarity is kind. Technology should adapt to people, not the other way around.
