Hi, I'm Marcel Kapfer, also known as mmk2410. When I have time I invest it in creative work. As part of that I compose music (have a look at [[https://marcel-kapfer.de][marcel-kapfer.de]] for that), train myself in doing graphic design or write text as well as code.
I learned Java as my first programming language back in 2014 and started a first project, the [[https://gitlab.com/mmk2410/writtenmorse-specs/-/wikis/home][writtenMorse]] project.
It provided tools to convert writtenMorse code to Latin letters and the other way around. (Btw.: The writtenMorse code itself is an “invention” of mine for better writing Morse code by using other symbols than dots and dashes).
Later in 2014 I started to learn coding for Android, since I wanted to develop a writtenMorse app for the mobile OS.
This app was published on the Google Play Store in mid December, just three weeks after my first contact with Android development.
Additionally to that I learned a bit of JavaScript in 2014 for enhanced features on my websites.
In 2015 I expanded my knowledge by learning Bash, PHP, Python and a little bit of C.
I also released a few font apps for the Cyanogenmod Theme Engine and some bash scripts to make my (and maybe also your) life easier.
Rangitaki is another project that I started in February 2015.
It was a blogging engine without any database dependencies, written in PHP, which tries to be lightweight and extremely fast to start with and easy to use.
Following this passion I joined the Ulm University in October 2015 to studying computer science to further improve my knowledge in this area.
In April 2021 I earned a Bachelor of Science degree in the field of theoretical computer science.
I started learning more and more things about free (as in freedom, not as in free beer) software in the following years.
I strongly support the idea of freedom in software and try to avoid non-free software were possible.
One part of that is my decision to move all my project from GitHub to [[https://gitlab.com/u/mmk2410/projects][GitLab]] and [[https://git.mmk2410.org/explore/repos][my own Gitea instance]].
Due to other activities in the recent years (and also the coming ones) I don't have much time (and currently also not much interested) in developing software.
I try to further maintain some relevant projects, but most of them have been archived.
Therefore I started designing a few years ago, but I hadn't jet time to do any major public work.
As of now my experience narrows down to web design and a little bit of print design, but I currently expand my knowledge by taking online graphic design courses.
Scorelib is a smaller project I started in 2015 for managing my collection music scores (the sheetpapers) with a database.
Scorelib is a CLI program written in Python and using SQlite as a database.
I assume that it only runs on Linux, but I never tested it on other platforms.
Scorelib is, as of now, quite small with only the basic features implemented (like I wrote on the beginning, I had no time to code much the last years).
It is available at [[https://gitlab.com/mmk2410/scorelib][GitLab]].
Note: Although the title says that the project is inactive I do not consider archiving it.
Theoretically I still have a need for such a software but practically time is missing to work on it.
It is also possible that I will start working on it again but then possibly also with a completely different tech stack/goal.
Here you can find some articles, concepts, manuscripts and similar
documents. Most of them are written in German.

/These pages are only in German./
Auf diesen Seiten sammeln sich zahlreiche (zumeist unkommentierte)
Zitate. Der Großteil (zur Zeit sogar noch alle) stammen von einem
Projekt 365 (wem das nicht bekannt ist, ein Projekt 365 ist ein
Projekt, bei welchem man sich täglich eine Aufgabe vornimmt), zu
welchem ich 2015 ermuntert wurde. Ich habe mich damals dazu
entschieden, ein Jahr lange jeden Tag ein Zitat (unkommentiert) zu
posten. Diese Sammlung findet sich hier.
Das hießt aber nicht, dass nie etwas Neues hinzukommt. Es ist gut
möglich, dass ich hier in Zukunft von Zeit zu Zeit ein Zitat poste
und eventuell dieses auch sogar etwas kommentiere. Mal schauen... :D
Falls das mal der Fall sein sollte und sich jemand bewusst nur für
die Posts im Rahmen des damaligen Projekt 365 interessiert, kann er
explizit diese unter der [[/categories/project365-2015][dazugehörigen Kategorieseite]] lesen.
