Hi!

I'm Dominik Jančík, a developer, maker, educator and visual artist.

I enjoy helping people bring their visions closer to reality and showing what they can achieve themselves.

Scenic.tools

For this purpose I'm creating scenic.tools, a collection of tools and methods to make connecting to devices around us easier and more fun. At the forefront of it is Schéma - an easy to use visual programming environment with focus on physical devices and interactions.

The tools are free for non-commercial use (including education).

Midweek Patch Therapy

Next I'm running Midweek Patch Therapy, free weekly online group sessions which are a place to get help with vvvv gamma (an up and coming visual programming environment), discuss tech and refine art concepts.

I select the highlights from each sessiona and upload them to YouTube in the form or short, easy to watch videos for everyone to learn from.

Why Patreon?

There are so many ways in which I'd like to improve the tools and improve the platforms. Some of these require obtaining testing hardware but all require time.

Most of the development so far has been funded from projects where the tools were used or from my personal funds. This means I have to deal with a lot of activities outside of directly working on the tools or creating educational materials.

And while this project-needs based approach brings useful features into the software, it also steers the focus away from community centered features and fundamental architecture improvements which are necessary for open-sourcing Schéma.

I want to build for you so we can build breathtaking experiences together.
