Howdy!

I'm a software developer and overall pretty cool guy. I'm the author of Gooey, one of the most popular Python libraries on Github. I occasionally blog about software and other things at my site chriskiehl.com

Why do I need this?

Managing a popular open source project takes a lot of time and effort. In addition to regular feature development, issues need responded to, stack overflow questions needs answered, and documentation needs written. Since open source doesn't pay, I need your help!

How does it work?

Simple: you set up a monthly donation for any amount you feel comfortable. That helps cover my expenses and fund the time I spend on open source work. Everything I do, I share with you.

What’s in it for you?

Detailed tutorials for new features. Want to know how to achieve complex layouts with Gooey? I'll be posting detailed guides and feature breakdowns behind the paywall. Additionally, I'll be adding behind the scenes content. Gooey has years of development work behind it. Get access to some of the earliest plans. I also occasionally post "backstage" videos of the development process of whatever I'm working on. See all the gory details and hidden work that goes into maintaining an open source project.

Shout Out: You make things happen! You'll get a shout out on my site as well as in the project release notes

Personal Contact: For $50+ tiers, you get my contact info! Once per month, I'll hop on a call and spend an hour helping you with development. I receive a steady stream of emails from newbies asking for help getting started with Gooey. This is for you!

Sponsorship: $250+ tiers, I list your company's logo and information as a development sponsor at the top of all Gooey related content (README, PyPi, release notes, etc..).
