Tung is a greeting in Albanian, short for 'Tungjatjeta', it translates roughly as 'may you live long'.
Lucky Media is a software development agency based in Dallas, TX. We work with funded startups and enterprises, teams that need high-performance marketing sites and custom web applications built to a senior standard, without the overhead of a large agency.
A few examples of what we've shipped:
- An AI-powered Laravel application that automates lead communication workflows, cutting manual response time significantly for sales teams.
- A full enterprise website rebuild for Chainguard on a headless CMS (Contentful) and Next.js stack. Delivered in 30 days with zero downtime and zero SEO impact.
- A React Native mobile app for a capital city, tour ratings, instant booking, payment processing, and real-time feedback, all in one.
- Migrated Yarn's documentation site from Docusaurus to Astro, bringing the PageSpeed score from 85 to 99 with a cleaner codebase and modern build pipeline.
We take on a small number of new clients each year. If you need a reliable team for a custom SaaS product, internal tooling with API integrations, or a high-performance marketing site, that's what we build.
Get Lucky, the ideal choice for custom software development!
We love all this tech stuff, and it shows. That passion for every pixel, every line of code, is packaged into every project. Our people have the freedom to create, the support to grow, and the space to enjoy their work so it feels a lot more like play.
We specialise in a focused set of technologies rather than covering everything shallowly:
- Frontend: React, Next.js, Astro, TailwindCSS
- Backend: Laravel, Node.js, FilamentPHP
- CMS: Statamic, Contentful, DatoCMS, Sanity, Prismic
We are continuously contributing in the open-source community, and some of our most noted projects are:
- Reactor - a Laravel package that provides minimal scaffolding for Laravel applications
- Next Starter - a Next.js project starter build with TailwindCSS and some opinionated defaults
- Statamic Starter - an opinionated Statamic Starter kit built with TailwindCSS
- Laravel Breeze - using React with Laravel Breeze. This is now officially integrated into Laravel Breeze.
- Knowledge base - guidelines to help developers with some good practices of the technologies we use.
- Landtamic - a very powerful Statamic Starter kit with more than 100 component designs
- Cloud - a compact Statamic Starter kit with more than 30 component designs
Isnification is the word we use when the designer gets the design ready for development. The idea came from Art (Yes, that's his name), our first designer ( Yes, our designer is named Art 🤷♂️ ), who was working with a developer called Isni. Nowadays we have a much bigger team of developers, but Isnification is still used regularly.
