Kia ora!
I'm Matthew, a Software Engineering student at the University of Auckland. I write open source software for fun.
My big project is Extension Manager - a popular utility for GNOME that aims to make customising your desktop easy and fun. I'm the sole maintainer of the project so it does take a big chunk of my time, but it's something I enjoy a lot.
I also work on a lot of other cool things:

I'm writing Text Engine, which will (one day) be an embeddable cross-platform rich text control.
I created Write, a web app to help build good writing habits. It lets you separate writing from editing and gets words on the page (screen?).
More to come!

My work on free software is exactly that; it'll always be free forever. But if you do like my projects and find them useful, consider saying thanks by buying me an orange juice 😛 .
