I am the creator and ongoing maintainer for dozens of open source projects. I have been working on open source software full time for almost twenty years, supported entirely by donations from the users of my software.

Your support will enable me to continue working full time on my various software projects, most prominently:

• calibre - Allows readers to keep control of their e-books and maintain their own personal libraries. There is no reason giant corporations have to own everything. Readers can use calibre to to be incontrol of their digital reading lives, from organizing collections to editing books to making notes and highlights to reading news and even maintain their own cloud libraries running on their own servers.

• kitty - A GPU accelerated terminal emulator. My effort to move the stagnant terminal emulator ecosystem forward. Superlative performance with best in class latency, dozens of innovative new features, such as image support, styled underlines, ligatures, full scriptability, shell integration, etc. Pioneered whole new classes of terminal functionality.
