Reuse, Recycle: One Team’s Journey from Projects to Products
summary
Agency moves from one-offs to a reusable product: an Ember-based face-in-hole template built with fabric.js for image composition, PHP for on‑demand share asset rendering to stay COPPA‑compliant, and about 20 repo branches of past projects for reuse. Team scales to ~20 people with 4–5 developers, uses semantic versioning, a wiki and component CSS conventions, and reports the template adapts to new promos quickly while remaining maintainable and documented.
