How to contribute

Support

As a human being I like to be honest, I believe that someday our kind will transcend money... But unfortunately, while we have not reached this day I need some money to make my living. If you like this project or need to use this library in the future please consider making a donation (anything helps), writing this library takes a HUGE amount of my time, effort and resources. But I do it because I'm passionate about it, and hope to make an impact on the world while also sharing my little knowledge as a human being.

Please, consider donating as a thank you.
