Benjamin Lupton

balupton
Perth, Australia

Benjamin furthers the commons and the humanities using the monikers balupton and bevry.

The open-source software I maintain receives half a billion installs each month, is used by every big tech company, and is likely on your computer right now!

Benjamin's Package Installation Statistics

Bevry's Package Installation Statistics

To put this into perspective, react receives 50 million installs a month and is built by an incredibly well funded team.

Despite this tremendous output, I am not employed by any company. I rely primarily on the funding here to support my contributions and existence.

While you sponsor me, all sponsorship amounts will receive:

Shoutouts inside READMEs across all my projects

Preview of sponsor shoutouts inside a project README

Shoutouts inside changelog entries across all my projects

Preview of sponsor shoutouts inside changelog entry

Shoutouts inside terminals configured with Dorothy

Shoutouts inside all my livestreams, talks, etc

Email support at b@lupton.cc

Ability to post issues and discussions on repositories

Continued contributions to the commons

Outcompete anti-competitive alternatives that impair your ability to compete

Reaching my sponsorship goal will allow me to:

  • ensure all my software adapts to ecosystem changes (callbacks to promises, javascript to typescript, cjs with esm, node/deno/bun/browser support)
  • attend to issues, pull requests, and security disclosures in a timely manner
  • finish releasing my ambitious projects
