About Schimple Software
Schimple Software Ltd is actually just me - Paul Johnson. I've been a software developer for over ten years, working in various fields, but specialising in user interface design. I created TextEgg because encryption seemed to me to be an area that everyone can make good use of, but where most solutions provide more functionality, and so more confusion, than most users need.
As you've probably already gathered, I believe in keeping things simple:
- Taking the simple approach to creating software - whenever possible I use established, reliable components, such as the Qt Application Framework for creating the user interface, and the Botan Encryption Library to provide a proven implementation of RSA encryption.
- Creating software that's simple to use - what I enjoy most in software development is finding ways to make the power of modern computing available in a form that is straightforward and intuitive for non-technical users.
- A simple company - Schimple Software is not hiring, not looking for new premises, and not seeking venture capital - I'm happy working from home, developing software that interests me, and providing the kind of support you'd expect from the guy who wrote the application and is trying to make a living from it.
If you have any comments on my software, website, or anything else, let me know - you'll find a contact form on the support page.
