Nate Butler

Staff Research Engineer


Hi friends 👋

I'm a software designer & maker enabling people's creativity and ability to share knowledge. I want to help people create the things important to them—To empower them to create something themselves and feel the euphoria it brings.

I'm passionate about local & open source software, checking the assumptions we've made about design & our interfaces, and finding ways to reclaim our applications and algorithms.

These days, I'm exploring the future of software at GitHub Next. In the past I've designed Zed, and worked on News Feed & Developer Tools at Facebook.

Say hi on Bluesky or come visit my corner of the internet!
