Offri un caffè a Hasan Berat Kaylan

Hi there! 👋

I'm Hasan, an independent open-source developer, translator, and Linux (Fedora KDE) enthusiast from Mersin, Türkiye. I enjoy building privacy-focused Android applications, modern web platforms, and contributing Turkish translations to open-source projects to make technology more accessible.

My Journey & Development Setup 🛠️

Over the past few years, I have been developing software while dealing with limited hardware resources, often working between a PC with hardware issues and my phone. During one repair attempt, I lost most of my childhood photo memories, except for a few important ones, including my profile picture here.

That experience strengthened my motivation to create local-first and privacy-focused software where users have full control over their own data.

What I'm Building & Contributing 🚀

I create and contribute to free and open-source software focused on privacy, simplicity, and user freedom:

Crossed: An offline, P2P location intersection app that securely finds shared places with friends using local EXIF data and cryptographic hashing, without requiring internet access or servers.

BridgeMusic: A simple playlist transfer tool designed to help users move their music collections between streaming platforms.

Open-Source Localization: Translating and adding Turkish language support to open-source applications, helping more people access useful software.

Why Support? ☕

I'm currently saving for a reliable development PC to improve my workflow, test my projects more effectively, and continue developing without hardware limitations.

Your support helps me keep my projects free, private, and open-source while building a more stable development environment. Every coffee helps me write more code, release updates, and create better privacy-focused tools.

Thank you for supporting independent open-source development! 🛠️
