    Creating a unofficial app for a restaurant

    The Idea So it all starts with a story. A couple years ago some friends showed me to a restaurant that apparently was „really cool!!!“. The concept of it is the following: You can either order via a paper printout (which also costs way more), or you could choose the all you can eat menu.…

  • Why we need a better solution than the Play Store (that is not F-Droid)

    Why we need a better solution than the Play Store (that is not F-Droid)

    First of all, F-Droid is not something that is bad. It is very handy, and some of my apps are available there. While I do not think it is the best solution, at least from a developers perspective, I do however think that it has helped the open source community a lot. That being said,…

What…

  • Docker is fun…. not..

    For using wordpress, I have created my own docker containers to make it easy to use wordpress with postgres and nginx. You can just clone it and start it with docker-compose up -d!
