The Relay

One builds the concept. One drives it to production. The name is literal — we work like a relay race, each taking the baton at the exact moment it counts.

02 — The Studio

We prototype fast and
ship what works.

Relais is a two-person studio based in Le Mans. Elliot conceives and builds functional prototypes. Julien takes the relay to production — coded, Dockerized, self-hosted, owned end to end.

No vendor lock-in. No black boxes. Between us we cover product thinking, editorial craft, DevOps, and the finishing touches that separate a demo from a product.

The problem

Traditional teleprompters scroll at a fixed speed — you adapt to them. For video journalists and presenters, this creates constant friction.

VocalFlow flips the model. It listens to your voice in real time and syncs the scroll to your actual speech pace.

Key features

  • Real-time speech recognition driving scroll — no manual control
  • Browser-native via Web Speech API — no install, no account
  • Adjustable font size, line height, reading zone
  • Mirror mode for physical teleprompter rigs

The problem

Reddit is one of the richest sources of real community data on the web. But accessing it at scale is painful — the API has strict limits and exporting data requires technical knowledge most researchers don't have.

Reddit Exporter was born from direct experience: Elliot needed to collect thousands of posts from r/3Dprinting for academic research.

Key features

  • Search any public subreddit by keyword, date, or flair
  • Export to CSV or JSON in one click
  • Post titles, scores, timestamps, comment counts, URLs
  • No account or API key required from the user

The problem

Every article needs a cover image. Every platform has different dimensions. Resizing and exporting is a repetitive task done dozens of times a week.

CoverMaker was built at 3Dnatives to solve an internal problem: prepare images fast, consistently, without Photoshop.

Key features

  • Upload any image and crop to standard article ratios
  • Visual crop selector — drag to reframe exactly
  • Automatic compression and export for web
  • Entirely client-side — images never leave your browser
