Working on open source is hard

I spend a lot of time looking into issues, reviewing PRs, adding new configurations, and extending my OSS projects (like create expo stack) to make them elegant and simple to use/contribute towards.

If you appreciate my work and/or get use out of my projects, you can make a big difference with even a small amount of cash. These financial contributions allow me to justify spending more time on this necessary work. Otherwise, I rely on supplementing contributions with client work and that obviously takes time away from OSS work.

What are my costs?

• Basics (food, internet, electricity, coffee)
• Tooling (Github, Vercel, Screen Studio)
• Hardware (Macbook, etc)
• Money I could have earned working on client work instead of OSS
