Vocabula.lat and many other apps I'm working on were moved to a new, way more powerful server. The best part? It happened without you even noticing. Big thanks to @vildravn.dev for the huge help setting things up!

The game I was helping to draw few icons a veeeery long time ago is finally on Steam, check it out! 🥳

With Chrome and other browsers dropping client-side XSLT, will Digital Humanities projects shift XML/TEI work to servers, or will this accelerate the move to JSON as the primary web format? developer.chrome.com/docs/web-pla...

I’m giving a talk tomorrow and would love to see you there. Definitely check out the full list of events here!

Vocabula.lat, my Latin dictionary, now supports two new languages: Icelandic and German. Huge thanks to @vanlinduist.bsky.social for translating the interface! 🥳

I’m so excited to talk about UX design for Digital Humanities at this lecture series!

Quick update: the Latin dictionary at vocabula.lat was unavailable (the site worked with the www prefix). The issue has been found and resolved.

The call for applications for the HTR Winter School in Vienna is live! CDH/MARBAS postdoc @cmroughan.bsky.social is one of the group organizers and instructors again this year. The application deadline is September 15th, 2025. www.oeaw.ac.at/en/imafo/eve...

Here’s a quick update on my learning app: I had an idea, what if I used my Latin dictionary to fetch grammar information and allowed users to import an entire Latin text into the app so it could be tested on that text? Guess what… it’s done! Also extended the testing to include translations.

I’m kinda desperate in my tries to learn Latin, so I made simple iOS app to help me. Before you ask - it’s not in app store and it won’t be anytime soon. But could be extended with any words in any language.

Just a few random shots from our trip to Bergen. It’s though to be famous in Norway, sooner or later, seagulls will poop on your head.

Reminder: Two weeks left to submit an abstract for @imc-leeds.bsky.social! #IMC2026 #Medievalsky #DH

My database of tools was updated once again www.humanities.tools. I’m also looking for anyone who would be interested in making order in tags and possibly take care of the database with me. It uses @notion.com as backend so editing is very easy.

You might have noticed an outage of my www.vocabula.lat dictionary in the last few days. The issue has been resolved and the dictionary is running again!

Proud of @vanlinduist.bsky.social for presenting her research on the Scribe H1 at the 19th International Saga Conference! 🥳

That’s a wrap on the Joint Training Week in Reykjavík, and with it, the first year of #ANTIDOTE! All six Working Groups presented their impressive final projects. Thank you to everyone who made this week inspiring, productive, and unforgettable. Takk fyrir okkur! antidote.hi.is

Having amazing time in Reykjavik working with group specialised on design and visualisation at @antidote-network.bsky.social

Great to see the ANTIDOTE joint workshop in Reykjavík that I've been co-organising up and running! Looking forward to a full week of collaboration on six very exciting projects. antidote.hi.is

An interesting article by Daley Wilhelm about alghorithm on social networks uxdesign.cc/its-far-past...

Exciting update! Vocabula.lat now supports minim search, making it easier to find words that are hard to decipher. 🥳

It's done. Now it’s your turn, Oracle. We’ve submitted a formal petition to cancel the JavaScript trademark: it is generic, Oracle has abandoned it, and Oracle committed fraud on the USPTO during the last trademark renewal. It's time to #FreeJavaScript. deno.com/blog/deno-v-...

Do you know of a digital humanities tool that looks really good?

Does anyone know anything about the symbolism of letters in the Middle Ages, e.g. why is T bad luck?

I think Apple Music and Spotify should have a “no autotune” section 🔥

So another big update for the Latin dictionary (http://Vocabula.lat) is here! Finally, you can refer to it differently from Rocek's Latin Dictionary. But more importantly, there is a completely new view on Whitaker! More about the update here: https://www.rocek.dev/blog/latin-changed-to-vocabula

Although I do almost everything digitally, there are times when paper and pencil are the best tools. Do you make corrections on the computer or do you print them out?

Are you a frequent visitor to my dictionary? Do you like to try new things? Then this post is for you! I'm looking for testers who are willing to try out the new Whitaker interface and give me feedback on what they like and don't like. 👀

I always find cycling in the forests of my home town very liberating and inspiring. This picture was taken near a fairytale-like destroyed village near the Czech-German border. 🚴😊

Join us for the first workshop of the Centre for Digital Humanities at the Faculty of Arts, Charles University. The primary purpose of the meeting is to get to know each other, but it's open to everyone! 🙂 You can expect many short presentations!

Improved Apple Maps in Prague? 🤔 Notice the plate tho

Humanities.tools has been slightly updated. More tools added and more importantly - it uses Notion DB as storage, so much easier for me to manage all the tools listed! 🥳

Hello on BlueSky 👋 If we haven’t met, I’m Martin. I’m a historian working on medieval dreambooks, and a programmer working on a diverse range of projects from Digital Humanities to commercial apps. In my free time, I truly enjoy good music, immersing myself in art, and going on travels!
