About me

My photo

Hi! My name is Michał Góral and I’m a programmer, hobby guitarist, hard sci-fi reader, Free Software advocate, as well as a faithful fan and user of Debian. Even though I don’t have beard, (sidenote: I do have now.) most of the time I’m found in terminal instead of a nice graphical environment. (sidenote: Not entirely true. X server Wayland compositor runs all the time, but its main client is usually terminal emulator.)

I use Free Software a lot. I try to give back to the community as much as I can. Among many bigger and smaller projects which I created or co-created, there are few which I don’t have to be ashamed of (hopefully):

  • Subconvert - movie subtitles converter and editor (unmaintained, unusable on Wayland);
  • Feed Commas - CommaFeed’s (RSS aggregator and reader) console client (unmaintained);
  • Quicksend - console program for quick sending messages via different protocols (unmaintained);
  • Commenter - filter used for commenting-out and uncommenting blocks of text;
  • AnyWebHook - generic web hook, or rather a framework for writing your own web hooks;
  • Yaxo - yet another xdg-open replacement;
  • TWWeb - TaskWarrior web interface (unmaintained, should work);
  • TWC - Interactive terminal frontend for TaskWarrior (unmaintained, should work);
  • KeePass Shell - shell-like interface providing access to KeePass databases.
  • Zet - modular, Zettelkasten aware command line notebooks manager.
  • i3a - i3 and Sway automation through their IPC capabilities.
  • Stag - static site generator (this site is built with it).
  • GWS - Git Web Service server + frontend, based on Gitolite and CGit.

I am father of two wonderful kids, Przemek and Dorota. I use unnecessarily fabulous image frames.
