Shiny Labs is where Victor Cho builds and runs his own software — card shop point of sale, personal finance tools, tax planning. Each one started as a problem worth solving properly, and each one is still maintained by the person who built it.
Three products, each independently designed, built and operated by the studio.
A trading-card platform with two sides: collectors track, scan and value what they own, and vendors run a full buy / sell / trade register with inventory, consignment, graded cards and live pricing. Built mobile-first for use on a phone at a dealer table.
Calm, plain-spoken financial planning. Claros helps people plan cash flow, decide where to hold their money and get ahead of taxes — education and tools, not investment advice.
A quarterly estimated-tax planner that turns a paystub, last year's return and year-to-date books into a projected federal and Maryland liability with a quarter-by-quarter payment plan. Every calculation runs in the browser.
Shiny Labs LLC is the software studio founded by Victor Cho in 2026. It exists so the projects above have a proper home — one place that publishes the apps, holds the accounts and answers the email.
Everything comes to the same small inbox, and support requests get a reply within two business days.
