Goals, in general

I'm currently seeking to subsidize the app development I do for Sailfish, an alternate Mobile operating system and the hardware development I do.

All apps I build are released under the GPLv2/3 (most), BSD 4 Clause or similar licenses. Hardware is open and as a rule includes views from breadboarding to schematics and pcb gerber files. And software, of course.

Apps

I work on a wide variety of apps. Perhaps too, broad a swath! See the repos, below....

• Tidings an RSS client (with support for playing media)
• Several Paint & drawing related apps
• Two video / animation related apps
• A client for the German Weather service (Deutscher Wetter Dientst)
• A reboot of Fahrplan, a public transportation app using backends in numerous countries.

All Sailfish Os and Arduino Apps are up on https://github.com/poetaster

Arduino

I maintain a number of libraries and programs for use with Arduino projects, most recently targeting the pi pico (2040/2350).

• most import currently, Mutable Instruments ported to Arduino https://github.com/poetaster/arduinoMI

Musical Instruments / Toys

I also build and sell musical toys, both analog and digital.

• keep, a semi-modular mini synth
• billow, a mini melotron (6 tone cassette player mod)
• moat shark (a hard disk controlled analog synth with digital delay)
• https://poetaster.org has a complete list

Some of the costs I'd like to defray include Server hosting, a decent build machine and an arm 32 bit test device. Although much can be done with freely available build servers, it's less time consuming to have a fast build machines and test devices for every target hardware platform.
