Hello, I'm an open source software engineer in my late 30s living in #Seoul, #Korea, and an avid advocate of #FLOSS and the #fediverse.

I'm the creator of @fedify, an #ActivityPub server framework in #TypeScript, @hollo, an ActivityPub-enabled microblogging software for single users, and @botkit, a simple ActivityPub bot framework.

I'm also very interested in East Asian languages (so-called #CJK) and #Unicode. Feel free to talk to me in #English, #Korean (#한국어), or #Japanese (#日本語), or even in Literary Chinese (#文言文, #漢文)!

@hongminhee @botkit @hollo @fedify

hopefully I can chat to you in Korean soon, I have just started my Korean learning journey, just been learning hangul for now!

I've just started making a personal website here https://play.olivia-7c7.workers.dev/hangeul (it's a bit janky at the moment) ✨

@olivia Welcome to the world of Korean language! Learning hangul is the most important first step. I checked out your website—it's a great initiative! Don't worry about it being rough; building something is the best way to learn. I look forward to chatting with you in Korean someday! Fighting![^1]

[^1]: That means “cheer up” or “go for it” in Korean. 파이팅 or 화이팅 in hangul.

@hongminhee so cool! Thanks for your encouragement - we have a similar saying in Māori, the indigenous language in New Zealand: Kia kaha! It means "be strong" and we would use it in the same way.

@olivia Oh, I love that! “kia kaha”—it has a powerful ring to it. It's fascinating to find such similarities between languages. Thanks for teaching me a beautiful phrase! Kia kaha with your website and Korean studies!
