Hi! My name is Rik and I've been addicted to building websites for over 2 decades.

In addition to building personal websites for my various interests (writing poetry, building worlds, writing science fiction books) I've also developed websites for a range of clients across a range of technologies - both frontend and backend. I've worked full time in the industry since 2014, first as a full-time developer and, since 2019, as a freelance contractor.

I build websites because I love delivering astonishing experiences to people who visit those websites. My preferred tech stack is HTML5, CSS3 and Javascript - preferably in its vanilla flavour.

I've been giving much of my work away, for free, for a long time now. It's gone from a lifestyle choice to - well - just the way I see life! In addition to my GitHub projects, I also give away my poetry, and my novels, for free: because words and stories cannot exist without an audience ... so why put gates and barriers in the way of letting the audience enjoy my work?

I don't expect the world to keep me in a comfortable lifestyle. But "every little helps", as they say. If you find my work useful, or enjoyable, please consider sponsoring me so that I can continue to do what I love, and share the results of that work with everyone - for free!

I want to spend a lot of time working on, developing - refining - the Scrawl-canvas library. For instance, I want to: make the library a bit lighter, and more efficient, so it works better on low-power devices. And a physics engine, to extend the library's reach into simpler 2d games. To do this, I need an income I can rely on without distracting me from the work. If you want to use accessible, responsive canvases in your project, then please consider sponsoring this work!

Do you (or your clients) like the idea of using a responsive, accessible canvas animation in your project? Do you need to work at speed, but find the idea of learning how to use Scrawl-canvas a little too daunting?

If you're willing to sponsor me for $20/month then I'll be willing to prioritise issues you raise on the library's GitHub, and work with you towards a solution (within reason).
