Selected work / Built, not rendered

Two products.
One point of view.

The strongest proof is software you can open. These projects show how MaydaLabs moves between consumer experience, complex operations, editorial systems, and growth.

01 / HodlStay

Marketplace · Travel · Bitcoin

A global stay marketplace, rebuilt around a sharper product idea.

HodlStay evolved from AirBTC into a premium travel product with Bitcoin-friendly booking built in. The work spans public discovery, host operations, guest journeys, legacy-data migration, partner inventory, payments, and the brand system around it.

The challenge

Turn a promising niche platform into a credible, scalable marketplace without losing the community and Bitcoin roots that made it distinct.

The system we built

  • Unified marketplace discovery and stay dossiers
  • Host onboarding, listing, calendar, and payout operations
  • Booking, availability, review, and payment lifecycles
  • AirBTC to HodlStay product and brand evolution
  • Conference accommodation and partner inventory flows

The system behind the screen

Four hard problems, connected.

01

Unified discovery

One search layer can present native HodlStay inventory alongside eligible HotelPlanner and Dtravel partner supply.

02

Availability safety

Imported iCal blocks, manual host blocks, and internal bookings are checked together to reduce double-booking risk.

03

Bitcoin payment lifecycle

Host acceptance leads into BTCPay checkout, signed webhook verification, booking settlement, and a traceable payout record.

04

Operational migration

Legacy WordPress and founder spreadsheet records are reconciled into a structured launch pipeline with explicit exception handling.

02 / Satoshi Gazette

Media · Data · AI-assisted operations

A Bitcoin newsroom designed as an information product.

Satoshi Gazette combines a live market layer, structured editorial desks, long-form reporting, wire updates, and briefings. The live product is in an active build phase as the newsroom and publishing workflows are brought to showcase level.
