Kia ora!

I'm Matthew, a Software Engineering student at the University of Auckland. I write open source software for fun.

My big project is Extension Manager - a popular utility for GNOME that aims to make customising your desktop easy and fun. I'm the sole maintainer of the project so it does take a big chunk of my time, but it's something I enjoy a lot.

I also work on a lot of other cool things:

  • I'm writing Text Engine, which will (one day) be an embeddable cross-platform rich text control.
  • I created Write, a web app to help build good writing habits. It lets you separate writing from editing and gets words on the page (screen?).
  • More to come!

My work on free software is exactly that; it'll always be free forever. But if you do like my projects and find them useful, consider saying thanks by buying me an orange juice 😛 .

@mjakeman

I really, really love 🍊 juice. But alas! It is not to be. A Tank C (from https://www.tankjuice.co.nz/product/tank-c) sets me back $9.90 NZ. With your generous support, I can fuel my juice addiction by an extra five juices per month 🧃.
