I’ve been writing code professionally for over 17 years. I do it for a living, then go home and build my own apps because apparently I haven’t had enough. I also write about technology, how it affects our lives, and why everything seems to need a subscription these days.
Respectware is my response to where the software industry seems to be heading. More subscriptions, more data collection, more tricks to keep people hooked. I’d rather do things a little differently.
I have nothing against making money from software. I want my apps to make money too. I just think it’s possible without pushing yet another subscription or treating people’s patience as an unlimited resource.
I tinker with my own projects after hours. Some are already out in the wild, others are still taking shape. Here you’ll find the ones you can actually use.
I like Mastodon, but its interface never quite worked for me. So I built my own. Classic columns, easier navigation, and a few things I felt were missing from the original.
