Hey everyone! First, let me thank you for even considering a sponsorship. Most people assume that open source Just Happens™ but even the few open source projects that I have has taken thousands of hours of my time. I do it because I love trying to make the world better for other developers out there.

Ideally I would love to be able to work on open source full time. Realistically I'd be happy to be able to buy some additional tech or office stuff to make my open source maintenance time more comfortable.

I know most everyone is currently under "subscription fatigue" so I've made my tiers extremely low so you can always get something. :)
