Hi, welcome, salutations. I'm stikosek, an amateur developer from the Czech Republic, and I happily welcome you to this excuse of a personal website.

About Me: Regarding Programming

I do a bit of everything, programming-wise, of course.

Right now, I mostly make websites, both the public-facing part (the so-called "frontend") and the APIs and systems on the "backend."

I also dabble in other areas, such as classic user applications and modding Unity-based games with BepInEx, as well as other things I come across and want to experiment with.

One thing I used to do a lot was run Minecraft servers. I still do it sometimes, but not as often. I created many custom plugins for my servers and ran a few of them. Some were even marginally popular—very nice!

While I do most of my work digitally, I also enjoy working with electronics in the real world. I have completed many projects, including several with custom PCBs. I enjoy making them a lot. Bringing an idea to life in the physical world is even more satisfying than in the digital one.

Oh, and I almost forgot to mention, that I, stikosek, use Arch linux, by the way...

Programming Languages I Use

• Svelte: An amazing JavaScript frontend framework. I use it for all my frontend projects—it's very nice to work with. I'd rather implode than use JSX.
• SvelteKit: A meta-framework for... Svelte. Equally as good. I also use it for everything frontend-related.
• RustLang: [insert "Rust programmers trying to rewrite the entire universe in Rust" meme] An amazing and ✨ blazingly fast ✨ language, really great for basically anything on the system-side, from APIs to terminal applications.
• JavaScript (+NodeJS): A pain we have to endure.
• MySQL: A solid relational database and my first choice. I use MySQL and its derivatives for basically all my projects that require a database.
• C#: Basically Microsoft's version of Java. It's great for games and Windows applications, though. I mainly used it for modding with BepInEx, but I don't use it as much anymore.
• Java: Actual Java! I use it exclusively for Minecraft plugins and sometimes mods.
• Lua: I rarely use it, mostly for plugins for specific programs and, a long time ago, for Roblox.

Tools I Use

• GitHub: A Git repository hosting service by Microsoft with cool features—everyone knows it. I use it for all my projects as a backup to my local repo or for collaboration.
• Docker: A wonderful container system, I interact with it a lot.
• Spigot: The Spigot API is essentially the standard for plugins for Spigot-based Minecraft servers.
• Arduino: The Arduino development boards are great for some basic and also advanced electronics projects, very useful!
• EasyEDA: Chineese PCB and schematic design software, I like it and use it for everything, even though KiCad is 200% better.
• VS Codium: The open-source core of VS Code, de-Microsoft-ified. It's a great text editor.

Some of My Projects

• Vagonbrei.eu Capypanel

  Status: In development

  I am developing a server management and billing system for the hosting provider Vagonbrei.eu in collaboration with its owners. The system will be an all-in-one solution for VPS, game servers, websites, dedicated servers, domain management, and VIP stores, with many QoL features. While I'm mostly working on the frontend, I also handle a lot of backend and daemon tasks. I started this project around the end of 2023, and after two iterations, we decided to start a third and final iteration, now with everyone's collaboration. The frontend is written in Svelte+SvelteKit, while the backend is in Rust.

• Vagonbrei.eu Home

  Status: Public

  I made the landing page for Vagonbrei.eu using Svelte and SvelteKit. It's decent, but I plan to remake it.

• Vagonbrei.eu Tutorials

  Status: Public

  Another website for Vagonbrei. This one is actually pretty bad, so I'll scrap and remake it.

• mcjars.eu

  Status: Public

  A simple website to download common Minecraft server jars—nothing special.

• Brainfuck Interpreter

  Status: Public

  The 53,145th brainfuck interpreter, but this one is written in Rust and includes a basic memory visualization in the console. Pretty cool.

• stikosekutilities

  Status: Public, discontinued

  A utility mod for the game Muck on Steam. Made with C# and BepInEx, it was my first semi-popular project. I learned a lot while making it.

• SGC

  Status: Public, discontinued

  A utility mod for the game WARMODE on Steam. It was also made with C# and BepInEx during a 24-hour competition with JNNJ and Terrain.

• DarkmatterMC

  Status: Shut down

  My second Minecraft server, which was survival-based with some minigames. It averaged around 35 players before I had to shut it down because the host I was using at the time charged extreme prices for SSD space. It's a shame it had to end at its peak.
