The idea for personalised labels came to me at the beginning of October 2022. I had seen a regional jam manufacturer at an autumn market. This resulted in 17 acrylic paintings with QR codes which were available from February to October 2023. It was supposed to be something similar to Buy Me a Coffee. The difference was that people couldn’t support me directly. People could buy jam jars with 17 of my acrylic paintings and a QR code. So they could eat the jam, scan the QR code and install the respective app. Then, unfortunately, the jam manufacturer went out of business and I looked for another option.

The idea behind the personalised labels is therefore another way to show my acrylic paintings to others and promote free software. Two years passed while I searched. It is now October 2025, and I had a brilliant idea: why not ask a Juice press? That’s no longer a small project.

If Keep Android Open hadn’t been there, I might still be thinking about it. At the moment, it looks like I’ll have to postpone my plans by a year. I’ll keep at it, I promise.
