Thanks for taking the time to check out my sponsorship page on GitHub. This is the official way to monetarily support my projects. I work on a wide range of opensource projects, with a focus on Lua. You can find over 150 open source repositories on my GitHub. Typically all projects are freely available under the MIT license.

Here are some of my opensource highlights:

Why sponsor?

I'm self-employed, so I'm interested in finding sustainable ways to develop free software. Since I have a wide range of projects it can be sometimes difficult to prioritize. Every sponsor will be allowed to cast a vote for the project(s) that they're interested in seeing developed more. I've created different tiers to represent how serious you are about supporting my work, and that will factor into how I prioritize features and bug fixes. Note: The things I'm offering for all my tiers are optional, if you'd just like to support me but don't have any desire to vote on things or talk to me, that's totally cool as well.

What about itch.io?

itch.io is my company, powered by many of my opensource projects. If you'd like to support my work with itch.io then I recommend going over to the website and buying some games. This way you can help both me and the independent creators on the platform.
