Active Reload is a small company founded by Rick Olson and Justin Palmer. Rick is a member of the Ruby on Rails core team, while Justin is a member of the Prototype Javascript Library core team. Together we build rocking software with a focus on awesomeness.

Beautifully simple issue tracking. With a beautiful Mac-like interface, email and subversion integration, Lighthouse is the perfect project management tool. We took the suck out of issue tracking.
Web-based Subversion Interface Manage Subversion permissions and browse through your changesets and files with ease. Warehouse takes the complicated and mundane tasks of Subversion and makes it easy.
We've changed the way you manage your blog. With a beautiful interface, multi-site support, and infinitely extendible through plugins, Mephisto is a fresh take on what a blogging application should be.
