It’s made by the DINUM, not a outside consulting company. And the product made by the DINUM (Tchap, France Connect …) are still in use.

Every 2-3 years, the French government announces that they released a brand new homemade app that will replace some bigtech because sovereignty or whatever bureaucratic bullshit communication they fancy at the moment. Then they issue a BIG contract to an IT consulting company to develop the thing, who get tons of money to send junior devs to release a buggy tool that no one will ever use because migrations cost a lot. This new app will die like the others.

I doubt that there are significant development teams at the DINUM. They coordinate projects but do not build anything. On LinkedIn, here are the main skills associated with the company: Image

All this instead of just hiring a few senior devs to contribute to any of the number of existing open source projects that are already infinitely better than any new thing they will come up with.

the french do make some great stuff tho like cryptpad or mobilizon - the problem is usually always the same tho. it’s in french and they only give half a shit about their french users, anyone else is considered an obstacle.
heck i’ve been playing dofus for 20 years and the non-french community is always shafted. always.
