Become a sponsor to Cristian Cristea
Hi, I'm Cristi π
I'm a software engineer, and in my spare time I build and maintain open-source
projects β the kind of small, useful things that get written once and then
quietly need attention forever: bug fixes, dependency bumps, issues answered,
the occasional new feature.
None of this is my day job. It happens in evenings and weekends, for the simple
reason that I find it worth doing and I like that other people get use out of it.
Why sponsor?
If any of my work has saved you time, taught you something, or just made your day
a little easier, sponsoring is a way to say so in a form that actually helps me
keep going. A lot of open-source maintenance is invisible work β the stuff that
never shows up in a changelog but keeps things running. Sponsorship is what makes
it sustainable to keep doing instead of letting projects drift.
What your support does
- Keeps existing projects maintained β bugs fixed, issues triaged, dependencies current
- Buys back time that would otherwise go elsewhere, so I can respond and ship
- Helps cover the unglamorous costs (tools, hosting, domains) that quietly add up
- Makes it likelier that the next experiment becomes something maintained, not abandoned
There's no expectation here. If you sponsor, thank you β it genuinely matters, at
any amount. If you don't, the projects stay free and open regardless. That's the
whole point of doing them.
My goal is to make ongoing maintenance sustainable β enough support to justify the regular time I spend fixing bugs, answering issues, and keeping things current, and to cover the small running costs behind the projects. Reaching it means this work stays active rather than something I do only when I can spare a free weekend.
