I am a software developer experienced mainly in PHP and JavaScript. I also like to tinker with hackable hardware.
I like free software. I mean "free" mainly as in "freedom of speech". But I wouldn't become who I am if there was not so much great free-as-in-"free beer" software, too.
I maintain few projects (like Window Overlay Icons GNOME Shell Extension) and randomly contribute to some others (eg. by fixing an OLED screen saving feature in LineageOS). I usually do this in my free time.
If you like some of my work and want to reward me somehow, you can warm my heart simply by saying "thank you" or by buying me a cup of warm beverage. :)

Thank you for updating for Gnome 46! This extension makes it easier to execute scripts. I use it for transforming the contents of the clipboard, similar to piping vim buffers through unix filters.

Thanks for HistoryManager Prefix Search. Works great up to and including Gnome 43!
Hi Robin. Thank you for your support. The extension now supports v44. It actually did not need any code updates (just the version in metadata.json file). There were times when the extension was working even when the version in metadata.json was not matching. I think that was better for this specific extension as I rarely have to do any updates in the actual code. I usually only update the version when my Linux distro (Fedora) has new release with new GNOME and the extension stops to work for me. Unfortunately, people that have new GNOME version sooner cannot easily use the extension until I do the metadata.json update. :| Anyway, I really appreciate your donation. ☕️ I am happy that the extension is useful to somebody else too. 😊

Thank you so much for supporting Ubuntu 20.04's version of GNOME :-) Still the best extension ever!

Thank you for that nice extension Window Overlay Icons :-) Very good!

Thanks for the work you have to do almost every 6 months (when Gnome Devs break everything 😁 )
Thank you! Well, the GNOME Shell developers are not to blame. There is not much of stable API that extension developers can use so I basically hack my way out of it and I connect to some internal that can change any time. GNOME Shell devs cannot check every extension on the internet and try to only make backwards compatible changes. Unless I have to rewrite the whole extension (like I did recently 😄 ), I am OK with the changes. The only "problem" is that some people use Linux distributions that have new GNOME Shell earlier than me (I use Fedora 32) so while I am still happily using older version, the extension is broken on their system.
