Software for leagues, schools, events and the websites behind them.

Nunatak LLC is a software company in Juneau, Alaska. We make six products for sports organizations, teachers, event organizers, support teams and website hosts, and we build every one of them ourselves.

A peak above the ice

We want to change how organizations deliver their services and keep in touch with the people they serve, with software that is made carefully, built on current technology and secured to current standards.

A nunatak is a peak of bedrock that stands above an icefield: the part of the mountain that stays in view when everything around it is buried. We named the company for it, and each of our products for the same Alaska landscape.

Rookery

Sports league management

In development

Rookery helps sports organizations run their leagues, tournaments and teams, and collect fees online.

  • Organize leagues, tournaments and teams in one place.
  • Take registration fees and other payments online through Stripe.
  • One profile per player or family, used across every organization they join.
  • Players join their league, tournament and team groups automatically.
  • Team chat with RSVPs and check-ins, designed around SafeSport rules for communicating with young athletes.
  • Detailed notification settings for each person. On the web first, with a mobile app to follow.

Kittiwake

Learning platform

In development

Kittiwake is a learning platform for schools and teachers: courses on the web, and an app where teachers can run their classes.

  • Build courses and run classes, from free lessons to paid programs with up to three subscription tiers.
  • Parent accounts that follow one or more children: progress, tasks, test scores and notes from teachers.
  • One shared Kittiwake app, where families connect to the organizations they belong to.
  • Organizations are private by default. An administrator approves who can join.
  • Audience age ratings and a child’s birthday decide what a younger learner can see.
  • Optional automatic translation into the languages an organization chooses.

Gangway

Events, ticketing and seating

In service

Gangway handles event calendars, ticket sales and assigned seating, and is built to keep event management affordable for community groups and nonprofits.

  • Publish events and calendars on your own website.
  • Sell tickets, including reserved seats.
  • Check guests in at the door with staff apps for phones and tablets. (In development.)
  • Listings stay with your own audience unless you choose to join your local Gangway network, which shares them only within your community.
  • Designed to keep years of past events without weighing down your website.

Cairn

Help desk and customer support

In service

Cairn is a help desk for organizations that support customers: a portal for requests, and a status page that keeps people informed when something goes wrong.

  • A support portal where customers open requests and follow them through to an answer.
  • Notices about known issues, shown where customers already look for help.
  • A public status page with real-time incident updates that customers can subscribe to.
  • The status page is hosted apart from everything else, so it stays up during an outage.
  • More than one authorized contact per customer, such as a billing contact alongside the main one.

Icefield

Managed WordPress hosting platform

In service

Icefield is the dashboard behind managed WordPress hosting: updates, monitoring, client reports and media storage for a whole fleet of websites.

  • Update plugins, themes and WordPress itself for one site or the whole fleet, with health checks and screenshots before and after.
  • Lock a site or a single plugin so it is never updated by accident. An update that fails can lock itself until someone looks.
  • An update risk score built from each site’s own history.
  • Client reports for each website, with a roll-up for clients who have several, delivered by email, as a PDF or on a private web page.
  • Customer records kept in sync with the server’s control panel in both directions. Works with Plesk today.

IceCap

Cloud media storage for WordPress

In development

IceCap moves a WordPress site’s media library to cloud storage, so images and files stop filling up the web server.

  • Moves every file: originals, every image size, WebP and AVIF copies, and edited versions.
  • Each site gets its own storage bucket and a credential that can reach that bucket and nothing else.
  • Google Cloud Storage first, with the storage class and region chosen for each site.
  • Media served through a content delivery network from each site’s own media address.
  • Optional backups to a separate, versioned vault: weekly and monthly copies, with older versions kept for 60 days and a year.
  • Set up and watched from Icefield, with live progress for each site.

How we build

Quality and security are decided in how software is made, long before anyone signs in. These are the practices we hold every product to.

  • Code we write ourselves

    We build our products in-house rather than stacking third-party plugins, so we can fix problems at the source and decide exactly what goes into each release.

  • Encrypted connections

    Our products and this website are served over HTTPS, so what you send and receive is encrypted in transit.

  • Least-privilege access

    Each part of a system gets only the access it needs. In IceCap, every website has its own storage bucket and a credential that cannot reach any other.

  • Signed, checked updates

    Releases are signed and delivered through our own update channel. Icefield checks a site before and after each update and holds back one that fails.

  • Backups kept apart

    Backups go to a separate, versioned vault that the websites themselves cannot reach, so a problem on one site cannot erase its own history.

  • Private by default

    Kittiwake organizations stay private until an administrator approves access, and Gangway shares listings beyond your own audience only if you opt in.
