About me

Here I call myself Seez, but many also know me as deinanker, zeilenliebe, destny – or simply Patrick.

I develop software, systems, and concepts because I’m bothered by how much works today:
Opaque, dependent on big platforms – and often designed so users have as little control as possible.

For me, technology is a tool.
A tool that should belong to the people who use it – not the companies that sell it.

Why I do it this way

• I don’t like lock-ins. If you can’t leave something, it’s not a real choice.
• I believe: If you use something, you should be allowed to understand how it works.
• I’ve seen systems start out well-intentioned – and turn into black boxes.
• I want technology to be understandable and usable in a self-determined way again.
• Access to technology shouldn’t depend on money, background, or connections.
• I think open standards and transparent architecture are the best insurance against dependency.

Technology can empower people – or control them.
I’ve decided to build the first kind.

How I work

• As simple, understandable, and maintainable as possible. No unnecessary overhead.
• Self-hostable, documented, decoupled – but modular enough that parts can be used independently.
• Start projects small, then grow them with real feedback and iterative improvements.
• Rotating focus principle: Every week, a different project is in the spotlight.
• Use side projects deliberately to learn new technologies – and feed what I learn back into core projects.
• Document architecture decisions so they’re understandable later.

Most of my tools are born exactly when I need them myself.
That keeps them close to reality and far from bullshit.

What matters to me

• Transparency – in code, costs, and decisions.
• Fairness – for those who use, maintain, or extend it.
• Coherence – my projects should complement each other, not cannibalize resources.
• Comprehensibility – in the code and in the idea behind it.
• Long-term viability – even in five years, someone should be able to take over my projects without knowing me.

My projects

🧠 Cosensai

This is personally my main project, because my goal is to bring order to my own thinking and not have to rely on a VC-funded platform to structure my knowledge and thoughts. It’s about personal AI, with privacy, sovereignty, and memory architecture at the center.
A system that supports your knowledge and your thoughts without monetizing them. Not for nothing has OpenAI just announced a partnership with Shopify (Seriously, check it out).

I wanted an digital sparring partner that reflects your knowledge instead of exploiting it. And if it starts just mirroring you, then it’s a system that’s supposed to help you recognize that and create new perspectives. Not like the current chatbots, which always give users exactly what they most likely want to hear.

🫂 circles.

A social network that deliberately works without algorithmic manipulation.
Realness instead of reach. Relationships instead of click optimization.
For people who want to communicate for real again. Based on the Dunbar number theory, that a normal person can only maintain about 150 relationships at once. Chat and exchange ideas without worrying that Big Tech is watching everything.

Ever been messaged by bots? Annoying, right? Unless you just bought yourself a few thousand followers for your Insta, go for it. But you can’t do that here by design. There’s the Proof of Realness mechanism, but a clever person could crack it – but I make it extra hard for them.

👕 marken.

Sustainable fashion label as a proof of concept for transparent supply chains,
QR-based origin tracking and NFTs with everyday value, without crypto hype. It would be nice if we could go back to a world where brands aren’t interchangeable, but actually stand for values and ideals. In the end, it’s almost irrelevant whether I buy Nike or Adidas shoes, because in the worst case, they’re made in the same factory.

When brands lose their identity for the sake of maximizing profit, it gets hard to convey and keep real values. That’s why marken. should be a place where values and identity matter again, and marken. itself is always just the proof of concept that in industry X, it’s absolutely possible to create a fair and sustainable offering that benefits both consumers and producers. (And, by the way, the environment and the planet)

🎮 leagueoffun

A playground for web games and interactive tools to test new technologies in practice
and try out ideas in a small, controlled setting. In this context, I developed Blamegame as my first game, mainly to get a feel for building a progressive web app. I learned a lot about React, Tailwindcss, and i18n.

How new projects come about

1. Idea – often while working on something completely different.
2. Prototype – small enough to learn quickly, big enough to solve real problems.
3. Learning technology – deliberately integrating new tools, frameworks, or architectures.
   • Example: Learn React → build Blamegame, including TailwindCSS and i18n.
4. Transfer – move knowledge and code into core projects like Cosensai.
5. Growth – iterative, driven by actual use.

The result: Knowledge transfer from toy to infrastructure.

What drives me

I don’t want to “do something with computers.”
I want to build digital spaces where you can breathe.

• Spaces that belong to you – not your profile.
• Spaces that don’t milk your attention.
• Spaces where understanding is worth it again.
• Spaces that are sustainable.

If you want to know more, just contact me – maybe I’ll reply.

You’ll find me all over the internet in the most random places, I’ve left traces – will you find them all?
