About

I’m Nico. I like working on free and open source projects. Feel free to contact me by email, preferably encrypted with PGP.

Here is an excerpt including some of my projects.

Briar

In contrast to other chat applications, Briar doesn’t rely on servers to keep messages flowing between contacts as it’s a fully end-to-end encrypted and peer-to-peer messenger. At Briar I’m working on several different things, like for example a desktop version of Briar.

Public Transport Nicaragua

With help of several tools we were able to build the first trip planning application in Nicaragua.

Repomaker

Funded by Open Technology Fund the F-Droid project had the possibility to hire some developers to work on different tools. Together with other developers and designers all around the world I had the opportunity to help on creating Repomaker, a web application to easify the creation of own F-Droid app stores.

LegionBoard

LegionBoard was a free and open source changes management system for schools.

Momkin

After having contributed to various amazing open-source projects, I set out to build another small Android application. I called it Momkin after the Arabic word ممكن (“doable”). It’s designed to help with learning languages—you can select an audio/video file and various subtitle files and it will show you what is being spoken. You can try it out on F-Droid.
