How to Find mat's Blog, Contact Info, and Project Links on matdoes.dev

Updated

matdoes.dev is the personal site of "mat," a developer who builds tools and projects on the internet. The homepage is organized into five sections — Projects, Links, Contact, Buttons :3, and Blog — so everything you're looking for is reachable from the single landing page. Scroll to the relevant heading: Projects for the full project list, Contact for ways to reach mat, Links for profiles elsewhere, and Blog for written posts.

Finding project links

The Projects section is the largest part of the site and lists each project with a name, a date range, and a one-line description. Entries run from older work (e.g., 4bit, 2018–2019) to active projects (e.g., Azalea, 2021–now). Each entry is a link to that project's page or repository.

A sample of what's listed, to help you confirm you're in the right place:

Project Period What it is
Azalea 2021 – now Rust crates for making Minecraft bots, clients, and tools
matscan 2022 – now Internet-scale Minecraft server scanner with an admin warning system
seized.fyi 2024 – now Archive of government website seizure banners
metasearch2 2023 – now Metasearch engine
simdnbt 2023 – now Optimized Rust implementation of Minecraft's NBT format
SkyBlock Stats 2019 – 2024 Web interface for the Hypixel SkyBlock API
matdoesdev-protocols 2023 – now Mirrors the site over SSH, Telnet, Gemini, Gopher, and others
Web Utils 2021 – now Utilities for software developers

If you're looking for a specific tool, scan the names and descriptions rather than the dates — the list is not strictly chronological, and several projects overlap in time.

Finding contact info and links

  • Contact — the section for reaching mat directly. Use this if you want to send a message rather than browse.
  • Links — a list of places to follow or find mat elsewhere on the web. Use this if you want a profile on another platform rather than a direct message.
  • Buttons :3 — a collection of 88x31-style web buttons (the small badge images common on personal sites). This is decorative/community content, not a contact route.

Finding the blog

The Blog section is listed separately from Projects. Note that the site also describes "matdoesdev" itself as "my blog and portfolio website," so the Blog heading is the entry point for written posts, while Projects covers the software.

Practical tips

  • Everything sits on one page — use your browser's find function (Ctrl+F or Cmd+F) and search for a project name like "Azalea" or "matscan" to jump straight to it.
  • Project date ranges tell you status at a glance: "now" means active, a closed range means finished or archived.
  • If a project link is dead or you want the source, check whether the entry points to a repository — many of these are code projects with public repos.
  • The site is available over alternative protocols (SSH, Telnet, Gemini, Gopher) via the matdoesdev-protocols project, if you prefer a terminal-based way to browse.
