Hi, I'm Max.

๐Ÿง‘โ€๐Ÿ’ป I'm currently building at Archil.

Some of my open source work that may be helpful:

  • ๐Ÿ’ฅ want a modern, open-source, and free xkcd app? Check out XKCDY.
  • ๐ŸŽถ need a music bot for your Discord server? Try Muse or Aoede.
  • ๐Ÿ’ก want to control those crappy IoT devices you bought on Amazon with a custom script? You probably need TuyAPI.

My portfolio has more details on most of my projects.

Outside of coding, I enjoy reading. One of my favorite series is Terra Ignota. I also enjoy Terry Pratchett and Neal Stephenson. Currently reading:

Recently finished books that you should check out:

  • ๐ŸŒ• The Dispossessed: a society of anarchists vs. a foreign State. But is a State eventually inevitable regardless?
  • โ›ช๏ธŽ Unsong: theodicy meets kabbalism meets Hitchhiker's Guide to the Galaxy.
  • ๐Ÿช Project Hail Mary: the sun is dying. It's up to a middle-school science teacher to save the world. Similar to The Martian in that it's grounded in somewhat plausible science.
  • ๐Ÿ“… Four Thousand Weeks: an antithesis to traditional time management. Embrace your limitationsโ€”life is short.

(If you have a book rec feel free to open an issue and tell me about it, always looking for new material. ๐Ÿ˜€)

leech is a fantastic tool for turning web serials into something you can read on your Kindle. Thanks @kemayo!
