What JG Core does
Shows Joshua Giles's software projects as an explorable island and takes enquiries for custom software design, build and running.
JG Core is the home site of JG Core Ltd, the company through which Joshua Giles runs his software work. Rather than selling a single product, the site lays out his projects as a voxel island. Visitors can turn the island, move around it and tap a building to read about that project. A Walk mode lets you wander round it as a stickman. Projects sit in themed lines such as Money, Care, Property and Civic, and older versions rest in a graveyard.
The projects cover many areas. CoreFi is a personal finance app that connects accounts through Open Banking. Revitaco is made for UK care homes and turns care notes logged on a phone into reports for GPs and evidence for CQC inspections. Civic Core Institute compares UK places using official data. Core Careers tailors a CV to each application. CoreTax, CoreVentures and Core RE are described as built but not launched, Core Travel is retired and Core Commerce is on hold.
The author also says he designs, builds and runs software for others, with an email address for enquiries. Pricing not published on the official site: there is no pricing page, so no plans, free tier or trial can be stated. Many projects link out to their own websites.

Limits and gotchas
From the official site and docs of JG Core, checked on October 29, 2026.
Pros and cons
Pros
- Shows many distinct projects in one place, grouped by theme
- Interactive island with a Walk mode gives a different way to browse a portfolio
- Each project states its status, such as live, in build, retired or on hold
- Offers to design, build and run software, with a direct email contact
- Company details are given: JG Core Ltd, registered in England and Wales
Cons
- Pricing not published on the official site
- No free plan or trial information is given
- Supported platforms and API availability are not stated
- Several projects are not yet launched or are available only by asking the author
- It is a portfolio, so it does not describe one product in depth
Our take
JG Core is best read as a portfolio and a way to approach a solo developer, not as a product you subscribe to. It suits visitors who want to browse Joshua Giles's work, or who have a software project and want to ask him about building it. It does not suit anyone looking for a priced plan, a trial or a documented platform list, because the official page gives none of these. Several projects are not launched or are invite-only, so check each project's own status before relying on it.
