Improving the world line by line, using code.

{du}punkto is a small hacker* collective ran by two teenagers (Robin and Potsjem) from the Netherlands. We collaborate on code, experiment, and, above all, we're having fun doing it. We aspire to make a positive impact on the world by writing great software.

On this site, we host some of our projects, repos and services needed to develop and maintain them.

Hacking is a widely misunderstood word. Originally it meant "To program (a computer) for pleasure or compulsively". Only later it got a second meaning: "especially, to try to defeat the security systems and gain unauthorized access to a computer."

Current projects

Oblikvo, a browser-based 3D first-person shooter with old school graphics and multiplayer support.

Untitled, a yet-to-be-named project that explores ways to blend websites, social media and collaboration on the Web, by implementing an easy-to-use website engine powered by various open standards.

Gitz, an awesome Git frontend written in PHP.

Why?

We initially founded {du}punkto as a pubnix, which we created out of curiousity and desire to learn more about *NIX systems. Unfortunately, we've had to close it down due to lack of interest and, crucially, funding. We're still writing code tho!

What's with the name?

{du}punkto is derived from the Esperanto word dupunkto, which means colon. We aim to be the beginning of something, instead of the end (a semicolon indicates the end of a statement in a lot of programming languages).

Contact

We love a good conversation; don't hesitate to shoot us an email.

{du}punkto is primarily maintainted by Robin. Find him and his contact details on his personal site.
