Hi there! 👋
Thanks for visiting. I'm Vojtech and I'm the author / maintainer of several packages for React Native which get around 750k weekly npm downloads (just trying to show that the packages are widely used and npm stats are the only measure I can use).

READ ME

If you've come to get the sponsor-only packages, there are two ways to get access to them:

1. Sponsor monthly, and get updates while you are a sponsor. You'll get automatically invited to the repos by Github if you sponsor from a personal account. If you sponsor from an organization account, get in touch (with your GH username) and I'll invite you manually.
2. Sponsor one-time and get updates for a year. In this case, please note I need to invite you manually so allow some time for that. If you sponsor from an organization account, send me an email (with your GH username) and I'll invite you manually.

After the sponsorship ends, you can, of course, carry on using the last version you had access to.

Please get in touch if you have questions, concerns, or feedback.

Background

I've been doing open source for many years now because I enjoy it, but it's hard to prioritize it. Historically, when I asked for support, there usually wasn't much of a response - and I get it. Why would you, as a company or individual spend your money when the only thing you get in return is a vague promise that some guy will keep an eye on a piece of code and, maybe, make it better in ways that may (or may not) benefit your business?

This is why it's hard for maintainers to get sponsors, and why businesses don't see the value in doing it. It's also why open source doesn't always deliver the quality that it could (there are exceptions, such as OSS backed by big companies).

I decided to take a different approach: for RN Google Sign in, and RN document picker + viewer I offer sponsor-only modules. These modules are higher quality, have more features, bugs fixed, support new architecture... they have a ton of improvements in general - if you're a sponsor, you get something in return, and you get it now.

Packages I maintain:

• react-native-theme-control: the best way I know to control your app's theming
• @react-native-community/datetimepicker > 400k weekly downloads
• react-native-document-picker > 200k weekly downloads ❤️
• @react-native-google-signin/google-signin > 100k weekly downloads ❤️
• react-native-add-calendar-event > 25k weekly downloads
• react-native-simple-toast > 20k weekly downloads
• react-navigation-header-buttons > 3k weekly downloads

where I actively contribute:

• linguiJS: my favorite lib for localizing your JS apps >190k weekly downloads
• ... and a bunch of other, including RN core

Why I'm Looking for Sponsors

Given how many projects I should split my time into, this isn't sustainable and means features, bugs and pending PRs stall and accumulate +1 comments for much longer than we'd all prefer.

I'll be delighted if you decide to support me and the aforementioned projects! If you use some of them in your for-profit apps, it even makes business sense to support maintainers: you can help ensure your dependencies stay maintained and reliable, so that your devs can focus on delivering features.

Through sponsoring, you'll allow me to spend more predictable time dedicated to answering issues, fixing bugs, improving docs and so on - not just free time that I find here and there. That means better quality of life for you as a RN developer, and better dependencies for your apps.

What I Do

Apart from just coding, I'm passionate about great developer experience. Examples of my contributions include the RN testing docs, a bunch of commits to react navigation docs or things like this or that.

Thank you! 🙂
