Behind Nikode
Independent developer building thoughtful games, Linux desktop software, and Flutter utilities.
Hi, I’m Niko 👋
I am an indie developer with a passion for creating engaging games, sleek desktop tools, and focused utilities. Through Nikode, my mission is to craft software that is responsive, delightful, and genuinely fun or helpful to use.
My core development stack centers on Dart and Flutter. I leverage Flutter beyond mobile to build full-featured Steam games like Glyphbreak and Omakaw, Linux desktop applications packaged for Snap and Flatpak like Wallpaper Madness, and fast static web applications powered by Jaspr.
