Hi there πŸ‘‹ I'm Kookie

I'm an independent software researcher living in Berlin. I have a sponsors page, if you want to learn more about the work I do, and how you can support me! My pronouns are ✨ she/they ✨!


I don't want to use GitHub! I believe that the internet should be a decentralised network, and that companies have far too much power over our lives. Github is no exception to this, and while I do have this account to participate in other people's projects, I try to minimise the number of projects I myself maintain on here.

Unfortunately GitHub is a social necessity for those of us who produce code, reminiscent of the role of Facebook in the early 2010's for social engagements.

Instead of GitHub, I try to distribute my work across a number of different forges. Additionally I try to evaluate new forges from time to time as well, to potentially discover a nice community of developers, or a better workflow. I think we should all strive to get off code-facebook. I know this is hard, and the companies we work for make it even harder. But that's not a reason not to try.

In that spirit, I have code on the following forges:
