Welcome to my Website! // About Maxr1998
Hey there! I'm Max Rumpf, a 20-year old student & hobbyist Android developer acting under the pseudonyme Maxr1998. I am Recognized Developer and Contributor on xda-developers.com.
In my free-time, I create apps and mods for powerusers, like MaxLock, an applocker, or HassDroid, a client for the Home Assistant home automation platform. View a list of my projects here.
I'm also active on various other sites, check out the links below. You can contact me via Telegram, as specified below.
My stuff
Hardware & Software I use, like and recommend:
- Dell XPS 13 9360, i7-7560U, 16GB of RAM (powerful, well-built & good-looking device, with an insanely good screen and battery life)
- Arch Linux, on the above laptop
- i3wm, a fast and powerful window manager once you learn it - Link to my current config
- fish (much smarter auto-completion than bash, and a lot of cool additional features, but scripting in it is kinda weird)
- Vim, link to my config (I never thought I'd actually use this one day. I don't even now recommend anyone to use it, if you don't want to spend hours learning and configuring a *file editor*, but if you master it, it's FAST)
