What I build for other people

Five kinds of work, all of it written and shipped by me. Whichever one you need, it goes the same way: you describe the problem, I tell you honestly what it takes, and then I build it.

No price list, on purpose. Two "Discord bots" can be a weekend apart or a month apart. I'd rather hear what you actually need first.

  1. Message me

    Discord or email, whichever you prefer. A couple of sentences is enough to start: what it's for, who it's for, and roughly when you'd need it.

  2. We scope it

    I ask the annoying questions early: edge cases, hosting, who maintains it afterwards. You get a clear picture of what's in, what's out, and how long it takes.

  3. I build and deliver

    I build it, show you progress as it goes, and hand over working software plus the source. Changes after delivery are a conversation, not a support ticket.

Websites

Hand-built sites for communities, game servers, small businesses and personal projects. No page builder, no theme marketplace, no twelve plugins doing the job of one: just clean HTML, CSS and JavaScript that loads instantly and still works in five years. This site is a fair sample of what you'd get.

  • Custom design, not a template, built around your content rather than the other way round
  • Fast, accessible and readable on a phone without pinch-zooming
  • Deployed for you, with a domain pointed at it and HTTPS working
  • Source handed over so you're never locked in to me or a platform

Discord bots

Most communities outgrow the off-the-shelf bots eventually. You want one specific thing they don't do, or five bots' worth of features in one that actually matches your server. I write bots from scratch in JavaScript (discord.js) or Python (discord.py), so the feature list is whatever you need it to be, and nothing is locked behind someone else's premium tier.

  • Moderation, tickets, verification, leveling, giveaways, logging, or something that doesn't exist yet
  • Slash commands, buttons, modals and proper permission handling
  • Persistent storage so settings and stats survive restarts
  • Hosting set up and kept running, or handed over for you to host yourself

Minecraft mods and plugins

Whether you need a client-and-server mod or a server-side plugin depends on your setup, so I work in whichever fits: Fabric, NeoForge or Forge mods, or Paper/Spigot plugins. New mechanics, custom items and blocks, minigames, economy and progression systems, or quality-of-life fixes for the specific thing that keeps annoying your players.

  • Fabric, NeoForge or Forge mods, or Paper/Spigot plugins, targeting your server's version
  • Custom items, blocks, mobs, mechanics and minigames
  • Config files so you can tune values without touching code
  • Tested against your existing mod or plugin stack before handover

Discord server setup

A server that grew organically usually shows it: forty channels nobody reads, roles that overlap in ways nobody remembers, and new members who join and immediately leave because they can't tell where anything is. I plan the structure properly, from the first thing a new member sees to the permissions your staff actually need, and then build it out.

  • Channel and category structure designed around how your community actually behaves
  • Role hierarchy and permissions that don't quietly leak access
  • Onboarding, rules, verification and auto-roles for new members
  • A written handover so your staff can maintain it without me

Custom tools and everything else

The projects on this site started as exactly this: something specific that didn't exist yet. Calculators, trackers, dashboards, scrapers, automation scripts, API glue between two things that refuse to talk to each other. If it's small, oddly specific, and currently costing you an hour a week in manual work, it's usually worth building.

  • Browser tools and calculators that run entirely client-side
  • Automation scripts and scheduled jobs
  • Integrations between APIs, spreadsheets and existing tooling
  • An honest "this isn't worth building" if that's the real answer

Questions people ask first

Do I get the source code?

Yes. You get working software plus the source, and the code is yours outright. It's written to be readable, so someone else can take it over if you ever want them to.

Who hosts the bot or the site?

Either works. I can set up hosting and keep it running, or hand everything over so you host it yourself. We decide that when we scope the project.

What happens when Minecraft or Discord changes something?

Mods and plugins are built for the version your server runs. Moving to a newer version later, or adapting a bot to a Discord change, is a change after delivery, and those are a conversation, not a support ticket. Tell me what changed and I'll tell you what it takes.

How long does it take?

That depends entirely on what it is. You'll know before I start: scoping ends with what's in, what's out and how long it takes.

What does it cost?

There's no price list, because two projects with the same name can be a weekend or a month apart. I'd rather hear what you actually need first.

Can we talk in German?

Yes. I work in German and English. This site is also in German.

What do you need from me to start?

A couple of sentences: what it's for, who it's for and roughly when you need it. The message helper on the contact page writes them with you.

Not sure which one you need?

That's normal, and a fine place to start. Describe the problem rather than the solution and I'll tell you what it would actually take, including if the answer is "you don't need me for this".
