Hi there! πŸ‘‹

I work on ViVe, a project for Windows power users & enthusiasts who wish to access a wide variety of limited availability or even unannounced features. πŸ§ͺ✨

You might know me from my Twitter 🐦 where I occasionally post new findings or ramble about whatever IT related thing happens to be on my mind at the moment.

Many of the projects you can find here have been created as a result of reverse engineering or just curiosity in general. I believe that every piece of software has a story to tell, whether it's a small easter egg hiding in an operating system from the 90's or early prototypes of upcoming features hiding within something a bit more bleeding edge.

Getting to see the development process unfold before our eyes is something I wish wasn't as rare. While I understand the desire to deliver a complete experience the first time a user gets to see new improvements, it's often very impressive to see the journey that got us where we are now, and I don't think we should lose out on that.

I greatly appreciate any support. 😊 The sheer user base of ViVe is something I still struggle to comprehend and I'm beyond grateful for having the opportunity to deliver something of this scale.
