Hey! I'm Lou Böcker
I use they/them and it/its pronouns, but I'm also fine with she/her.
I'm a fullstack developer, activist and student from germany. i sometimes do cool things like
- Railboard, a project for viewing station boards and journey information for german public transport, requiring me to reverse-engineer multiple apps by the "Deutsche Bahn", because their "Open Data" is a joke. With the knowledge I learned from this, I built the Railboard API, which makes this data more accessible for everyone to use in their project by providing a documented api and api clients for the original APIs by DB.
- boecker.dev, my own website, made with nextjs
- Participating in the past few Advent of Code Events. You can find my solutions for AoC 2022, AoC 2023, AoC 2024, AoC 2025 (and AoC 2021) in their respective repos.
- I have recently began to really like Nix(-Os). My configuration files are also publicly available here.
- Sometimes I do Discord or Telegram Bots. Notably iws for discord.
- In my past, I have also done a lot of things with minecraft.
- Coding and Organizing A minecraft HungerGames Event for JacobStreams. The source code is available here
- Coding a mod and participating in a YouTube Short for LlamaNeck
- Making my own challenge plugin inspired by the old videos by german youtuber BastiGHG
- A Plugin that does random things when a player gets damage for a YouTube Video for Beanie. The Source Code is available here.
- mod-installer, a browser based installer for minecraft modpacks (which was my first proper full-stack app, making the code naturally really bad)
- Other (sometimes silly) minecraft related things with less important stories: minecraft-exporter, TwitchControlsMinecraft, ForceField, rmvw, imaginize, TinyDamage
