Jean-Luc Makiola.
I build design-led Android apps with Material 3 Expressive on top of open, self-hostable standards. This is my corner of the web — projects, writing, and notes.
I'd rather put a thoughtful interface on top of an open protocol than reinvent a sync stack. My apps read and write through the platform's own providers, so your data stays yours — and stays portable.
They form the Floret family: small, focused tools that share one expressive design language. Everything around them — code, translations, builds — runs on infrastructure I host myself.
Selected work
All work →- ReleasedCalendula
A Material 3 Expressive calendar for Android. Reads, writes, and reminds on top of the system calendar — any CalDAV account just appears — with zero network access of its own.
- In developmentAgendula
The task-list sibling to Calendula — a pure front-end over the OpenTasks provider (CalDAV VTODOs), with no reinvented sync stack.
- Design systemfloret-kit
The shared Material 3 Expressive design system and plumbing behind the Floret app family — so each app draws from one bloom instead of reinventing it.
Plus a trail of smaller experiments and utilities — most unfinished by design — over on my Gitea.
