Thanks.

I am honored that you have taken a moment to consider supporting my work as an open-source author and contributor. A sincere "thank you" from me to you. 🙏🏻

About

👦🏻❤️  Proud papa
👩🏻💍  Happy husband
☀️🎸  Living in Austin, TX
🌧☕️  Previously from Seattle, WA
👨🏻‍🎨👨🏻‍💻  20+ years in UI/UX & Web Dev
🍎🤖  Intrigued by Swift and AI/ML
🧘🏻‍♂️💭  Life is short. Be kind.

I'm a systems-oriented designer, human-centered developer, and open-source author of UI, UX, and DX tools.

I launched my first open-source project here on GitHub back in 2016. Since that time I've created and contributed to dozens of projects, most notably as a core team member of docsify.js, the creator of docsify-related projects like docsify-themeable, and the creator of web development libraries like css-vars-ponyfill. The positive reaction to these efforts has been the motivation for continuing to do this work. Countless hours, issues, and PRs later, I am still excited to be a part of the open-source community.

Sponsorship

A sponsorship is more than just a way to show appreciation for the open-source authors and projects we rely on; it can be the spark that ignites the next big idea, the inspiration to create something new, and the motivation to share so that others may benefit.

If you benefit from my projects or contributions, please consider lending your support and encouraging future efforts by becoming a sponsor.

Thank you!

Reaching 10 sponsorships will let me know that my work is having a positive impact while helping to support existing projects and encourage future efforts. If I am fortunate enough to reach this goal, I will re-evaluate my sponsorship tiers to determine how I can provide more value to sponsors and the open-source community.
