Hey, I'm Thorsten aka @thlorenz on twitter and I'm asking for your support.

Why should you support me?

I'm writing and maintaining around 300 open source libraries that help others turn their ideas into working projects as fast as possible. All of those are free to use and most of them run with Node.js or in the browser, therefore most JavaScript projects use at least one of them.

Many of you writing tests will have benefited from the ease of mocking that proxyquire provides, and if you use a transpiler like babel you are getting source maps provided by convert-source-map which is downloaded more than 100 Million times per month.

Rid

Most recently I created rid which allows developers to integrate Rust into their Dart or Flutter app simply by annotating it. I am hoping to find enough sponsors to allow me to fully open source rid.

By sponsoring me you not only show your appreciation for all the work that went into rid already, but also help me evolve, stabilize and maintain it.
You will also gain immediate access to the currently still private rid repository.

How will your donation help?

Every donation is greatly appreciated as it allows me to invest more time into open source projects and gets me closer to my ultimate goal of doing open source and helping others all day long.

Many thanks in advance and happy hacking :)
