I create little tools to help with German bureaucracy. It's a nice break from writing content, and scratches my programming itch.

I built a bot to help you find a citizens office appointment, a few tax calculators, and a letter generator for specific bureaucratic tasks.

These tools are embedded in the content wherever relevant. They remove the tedium and uncertainty from some tasks.

I'm currently working on a form filler for two of my most downloaded forms. In the future, I'd like to "close the loop" by faxing the forms through an API and catching the response through a mail scanning service. Instead of mailing printed forms, you could fill a form online and get your response by email later, in plain English.

If the government won't go digital, I will do it for them.
