The story · part 1 of 5
The year is 2026. The whole world hires agencies…
The whole world? Not quite! One small village still holds out and simply makes its own apps. That village is called Armori.ca.
Why Armori.ca?
Armori.ca is the ancient name for the north-west of Gaul, today's Brittany. It is home to the indomitable village of Asterix and Obelix, which refuses to be conquered by the Romans. Thanks to the magic potion of the druid Getafix (Panoramix in French), the villagers can take on anything.
Our village works the same way. You don't need a team of developers to make a real mobile app. Our druid is called Panoramisk, after Panoramix, and his magic potion is Claude. With it, you can do it yourself.

Long ago
By the sea
On the rugged north-west coast of Gaul, where the Seine and the Loire flow into the sea, lay a land the Gauls called are-mori: "by the sea". The Romans made it Armori.ca. Seafarers and fishermen lived there, tribes like the Veneti, the Osismii and the Redones.
They were proud and headstrong, but in 56 BC Julius Caesar came with his legions and his fleet, and Armori.ca fell too. At least, that is what the history books say.
In the comics
The village that never fell
In 1959 René Goscinny and Albert Uderzo told a different story. In Armori.ca, by the sea, one small village holds out. Four Roman camps surround it, but the legionaries hardly dare set foot inside.
The secret bubbles in the cauldron of the druid Getafix. That is where Asterix lives, small but clever, and Obelix, big and strong, who fell into the cauldron as a child.
🧪
The magic potion: Claude
What the druid's magic potion is in Asterix and Obelix, Claude, the AI by Anthropic, is for us. Panoramisk brews with it: he understands what you want, writes the code of your app, looks at the result and improves it until it is right. One sip of magic potion, and your idea becomes an app.

Every version is a sprig. You go back with the golden sickle; forking is taking a cutting.
