About
Hey there, I'm Igor Bubelov. Welcome to my little corner of the internet.
Most of my open-source work is all about giving you back control of your data and your digital life, stuff like privacy and self-sovereignty. At the end of the day, I just think systems should be unstoppable and ungovernable.
This site is basically a public notebook for all the random stuff I find interesting. Take a look around, and if you feel like it, shoot me a message with your thoughts, questions, or just to say hi.
Projects
🗺️ BTC Map (https://btcmap.org)
Most people see Bitcoin as an investment, but its creator, Satoshi Nakamoto, always meant for it to be peer-to-peer digital cash. BTC Map is all about making that a reality by helping people actually spend their sats. I built the backend and the Android app, and I help keep the infra running.
📰 News (https://github.com/bubelov/news)
Decentralized publishing is still a tough nut to crack. The big social media sites are full of ads, fake news, and propaganda, and to make things worse, they're always censoring stuff. Protocols like RSS and Atom cut out the middleman by creating a direct line from publishers to their audience. I built this app, and I'm still the primary maintaner.
