5 years experience in SWE, two of which building and maintaining complex software and mobile apps for high-tech industry customers.

Masters degree in Computer Science (TU Munich, ETH Zürich).

Very eager to achieve great outcomes. Thoroughly enjoy both C# and Flutter development. Really pleasant to work with.

My specialty: Strong versatility, very fast to enter unfamiliar territory. Covering my colleagues' back across a variety of codebases besides my strong suits, incl. Go and Svelte projects.

Actual feedback from my current boss about my first work-week: "You have been brutally productive."

Excited to hear from you!

Ah yea sure, I'll consider it

Could you be more precise as to what doesn't work?

Thought about it but ideally I want to do without captcha ... I think they can be a burden and may not be necessary for tiny niche sites like this.

For now I have some other bot mitigations in place so I wanted to see how far they'd get me.

Only if nobody else is queued, otherwise it should match you with someone instantly.

Thank you!

Unfortunately most users so far seem to suspect they are talking to an AI or that it's not real somehow ...

Looks like it's not end-to-end-encrypted.

Which should be default for anything that offers dms.

I wanted it for Discord so I created an E2EE client on top of it: https://www.discryptor.io

Sounds interesting. Mind sharing the gist (hehe) of your results?

Big fan of on-a-whim-experiments.

I like your change. Much clearer.

Makes me more interested than the current syntax.

Sometimes it's enough that it's a catchy word with a free .com or .io domain. Doesn't need to be a meaningful acronym always, think Google, Sony, Xerox, ....

I made a name generator once that tries to do that: https://catchybrand.vercel.app

Websites I collected over time, some of which I often feel the need to go back to (like Icon webaites) - all in one place.

It's hard to come up with new unique and catchy names for a business. This website tried to get creative and help out.

What's the exact goal?

Discryptor is a side project of mine that brings End-to-end-encryption to Discord private chat.

I recently made some changes to the architecture, particularly with respect to security.

Curious for feedback.

I'm building an End-to-End-Encryption app for Discord private chat, called discryptor.io [0]. It uses a Discord bot to deliver encrypted messages between users, rather than directly using the unprotected Discord chat.

I created an MVP for Windows but unfortunately haven't had the time and resources to make a mobile app yet. I would love to hear not just feedback on the execution, but the idea itself.

Also I'm not sure how monetizable the idea is but I'd like to give it a shot.

Yea many of the millions of possibly generated names are bad but the idea is to spit out a whole bunch of them in a row until you get a good one, which shouldn't take too long.

Was this the best one you got?

Author here: This was a toy project idea that randomly popped into my head recently so I made it the next day. I think it can generate some creative, useful names.

It is noteworthy that this site also classifies the Brave browser's spyware level as High.

Just seems a bit dramatic to me, but I might be wrong.

Honestly a bit too emotionally loaded for my taste.

However, I share the concern that Discord text messages are unencrypted, leaving a lot of sensitive information vulnerable.

That's why I made discryptor.io [0], an innovative app running on top of Discord that end-to-end-encrypts all private text messages. It does this by employing a Discord bot that forwards encrypted messages. (More info on discryptor.io)

Client source code will be made available soon.

I made something very similar a while ago but thought it wouldn't be interesting to users because you need to do too many inputs, costing extra time.

Would love to hear feedback on the concept/design because I already know the code is utter junk (I was just playing around with Flutter for the first time).

Maybe I should pick it up again hmmm...
