Hello World!

Hello world, we are Maaike & Oliver.

We met at work in 2012 and have been a couple ever since. We both have work experience in IT. Oliver learned to program as a child, fell in love with it, and never looked back. He has over 20 years of experience working as a developer. He can do almost anything tech-related: frontend, backend, infra, security, design.

Maaike started working in IT "by accident" (that's the TL;DR of it). She became an experienced software tester and learned to program as well with Oliver's help. However, her heart is somewhere else. She enjoys healthy living and strength training a lot more than working in IT, and her passion is to help others feel fitter and healthier. She also wants to get more women into strength training, as that is a very good investment for their health (also for men, btw!).

Our mission:

We figured that: our combined IT + desk dweller life + healthy living experiences + our worries about the current state of the internet can be combined in one initiative! With Healthy Living for Desk Dwellers, we want to work on multiple things in one go:

• main mission: help people with office jobs lead healthier lives by offering free and paid services.
• detoxify the web by creating a cozy and uplifting online community that does not steal your data, and is built on the IndieWeb principles.
• work together as a couple. Maybe we are crazy, but we like it!

We hope you want to become a part of the community. Become an Early Member and join us! Be part of the community while it is being created and growing.
