Hi there! I'm a maintainer who doesn't work on open source software in their full time job. Does that sound like you or most of your development team? Then you'll understand why I set up GitHub Sponsors for the projects I maintain.

In my spare time, the time not spent working at a full-time job, I maintain a few projects.

Select2

  • 250k unique users visited the Select2.org website last month
  • 2.5k visitors download Select2 every day
  • 25.6k stars and 6.4k forks on GitHub
  • 1.2 billion hits every month on jsDelivr and far more on CDNjs

Select2 is a jQuery based replacement for select boxes. It supports searching, remote data sets, and infinite scrolling of results.

Django REST framework

  • 20.3k stars and 5.4k forks on GitHub
  • Used by 200k downstream repositories

Django REST framework is a powerful and flexible toolkit for building Web APIs.

Jinja2

  • 7.5k stars and 1.3k forks on GitHub
  • Used by 500k+ downstream repositories

Jinja is a modern and designer-friendly templating language for Python, modeled after Django’s templates. It is fast, widely used and secure with the optional sandboxed template execution environment:

Maintaining a single project can become a full time job, especially when it's a popular project. But as a maintainer of 3 different popular projects I have to balance my effort across all of them.

The rewards for sponsorship tiers go towards Select2, since that is the project I own and independently maintain. I can provide paid support towards the other projects I maintain as well, but any sponsorship opportunities are independent of them.

@kevin-brown

This will ensure that there is a stable stream of sponsors who are interested in keeping the projects that I maintain alive.

I don't drink coffee. So buy me some other drink (or two), once a month.

You'll get a "Sponsor" badge added to your profile.

$50 a month

I live in an expensive city, so this is like buying me two dinners a month.

This will ultimately encourage me to spend some extra time working on the projects I maintain.
