What we do
Practical technology help for real business problems.
Four ways we tend to help. Most projects start with one and grow from there - at a pace and budget that makes sense for a local business.
Custom software shaped around your workflow
Internal tools that match how your team actually works instead of forcing them into someone else's template - dashboards, booking, admin, reporting and client portals.
Integrations that stop the copy-and-paste
Your existing tools, finally talking to each other. We connect forms, data, payments and CRMs so staff stop moving information around by hand.
Web & mobile apps with a clear first version
Honest scoping so the first release solves the right problem - then planning, design, build and launch support to get it into people's hands.

Selected work
Designed to look great and bring in real business.
A few things we have shipped for local businesses. The point of each one was to bring in orders, bookings or leads, then keep doing it.
Case study · Restaurant
Borscht Kitchen reached #1 for Ukrainian food in Toronto in under a year.
Built to convert: clear ordering, fast pages, and deliberate local SEO. It topped search for Ukrainian food in Toronto and paid for itself in real orders.

Built in the open
We also design and run our own software.
Websites are where a lot of clients start. Behind them we build production systems and developer tools, much of it open source, held to the same standard as the work we do for you. Proof that the hard stuff is in reach, not just brochure sites.
Infrastructure · Rust
Spooled
A distributed job queue that reliably runs the background work apps depend on, emails, payments, retries, at serious scale.
Developer tool
GitAlert
A GitHub app that flags which pull requests are safe to merge and which quietly gamed their tests, handy as more code gets written by AI.
Web app · Rust / React
opn.onl
A privacy-first link shortener you fully own, with branded short links, QR codes and click analytics.

Restaurant solutions
A whole team for restaurants.
Restaurants are a big part of what we do. We have built the tools, run a kitchen ourselves, and know exactly where the money leaks. Most clients start with a website and grow into the rest, including PlatesReady, our own platform for the ordering and reservations a restaurant actually owns.
01
Sites that convert
Fast, bookable, SEO-first websites that bring in real orders, not just compliments.
02
Direct ordering & delivery
Your own ordering through PlatesReady, plus Uber Eats, DoorDash and Skip set up to work for you.
03
Kitchen & POS
Thermal receipt printing, order managers and tablet workflows that survive a real dinner rush.
04
Data & analysis
Order, customer and sales data stored and analysed so you can see what is actually working.
05
Opening a business
Practical help standing up the tech for a new spot, from menus to payments to launch day.

The team behind it
A team that builds it, and stands behind it.
I am Yevhen Salitrynskyi, founder of YS Progress. We are a Markham studio that has shipped everything from one-page restaurant sites to the infrastructure behind our own products. You work with the people doing the work — not a sales rep, and not a faceless queue.
