The Challenge

The Gazetis.to product already had active users and existing content. It required a technological restart without disrupting day-to-day operations for creators and subscribers.

  • Migrate the product from Node.js to Rails without breaking continuity

  • Maintain and expand features for publishing newsletters, podcasts, and videos

  • Prepare the product for a rebrand and future development

The Solution

Rails Port (2023)
We took over the application from its Node.js stack and rewrote it in Ruby on Rails. The goal was to achieve a more sustainable architecture and accelerate future product development.

Product Development
We built upon the platform's core use case: content monetization for creators and media outlets, subscription management, and multi-format publishing.

Rebrand + Audio (2025)
This was followed by a rebranding from Gazetis.to to Opinio.cz and the expansion of the audio features, including Spotify Connect.


The Outcome

Stable product migration without the need to start from scratch. A single product foundation for newsletters, podcasts, and video content. Brand and platform readiness for future growth

Content Publishing Platform

Opinio helps creators and media outlets monetize high-quality content through subscriptions across newsletters, podcasts, and video.

Administration Interface for Creators
