Developing Lysand, a new federated server
I write about my experience developing Lysand, a new federated server for the Fediverse, and its accompanying protocol

Heya,
I'm CPlusPatch
I make apps, websites, servers and dreams through FOSS and open standards. I am a student in computer science and a programmer by passion, with several years of experience in many kinds of fields
My philosophy
I believe in the power of open source and open standards. Nearly all of my work is licensed under a free license such as the GPLv3, which allows me to work with secure, extensible and reliable software.
While writing code, I adhere to my own set of principles, which I apply as part of my philosophy to achieve excellence. Here are some of the things I believe in:
- Build Reproducibility I use systems such as Docker or Nix to build and deploy my systems in a way that is reproducible and sandboxe
- Automatic Linting & Formatting My apps are strictly checked for errors whenever I edit code, leading to less bugs and better-looking outputs
- Extensibility and Futureproofing Apps should be written with scaling up in mind, and this is true of any system. Things should be done in a way that they still make sense later on
Security
I am a fervent believer in security and hardening: all my devices are protected with full-disk encryption, I follow industry standard security practices and use Linux and open systems with a hardened configuration everywhere.
Reviews
Many clients satisfied
“Developers that are fast, utilize the newest available technology with ease, swiftly understand what you asked for, and can immerse themselves into your project to make case-by-case decisions in a way you would've made them, are already impossible to find. What makes CPlusPatch extraordinary is not just that, but is aided by the fact that CPlusPatch completes such tasks in a speed you'd expect there to be a full-time paid development team on the other end rather than a singular person.”
Erik Uden
CEO, Uden AI
“I got to be witness to CPlusPatch's development of Fedibase, It really showed me how much he can accomplish when he sticks to a project. He was dedicated enough to make a fully featured Fediverse client that I'd argue is on par with other Fediverse clients, and he did it all on his own.”

“All of CPlusPatch's projects turn out looking stunning. They make any project look easy, yet you'd be hard-pressed to find someone who works as quick with nearly the same results.”
Hazel
Developer
“I'm impressed every time I see CPlusPatch working on something. He is extremely dedicated, and always amazes me with the quality and speed of his work. His enthusiasm for his projects is clear every time I talk with him.”

“CPlusPatch is the most talented programmer I have had the pleasure of knowing. He can solve difficult problems using remarkable efficiency and is always happy to assist me with my own projects. Truly a person of all time.”
