About
Hey there, I'm Igor Bubelov. Welcome to my little corner of the internet.
My open-source work is about restoring people’s control over their digital lives and advancing privacy and self-sovereignty. I believe software 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 (btcmap.org, 2014-present)
Most people see Bitcoin as an investment, but its creator, Satoshi Nakamoto, always intended it as peer-to-peer digital cash. The goal of BTC Map is to make this happen, facilitating everyday Bitcoin spending. I built and maintain the backend, the Android app, and the core infrastructure.
📰 Vesti (vestifeed.org, 2020-present)
Social networks are gatekeepers. Vesti gives readers their sovereignty back. You choose what you see, with no censorship, algorithms or propaganda in between. I built this app, and I'm the primary maintaner.
📷 GeoGallery (geogallery.org, 2026-present)
GeoGallery keeps your photos, places and dates together on a map. It's a work in progress, distributed as nightly builds only. OpenStreetMap integration and encrypted cloud backups are planned. I built it, and I'm the only maintainer.
