Hello fellow OSS devs!
I'm Kyle, but most of you just know me around the web as getify. Thank you so much for considering supporting my OSS work through Github Sponsors!
What your support means to me...
I love OSS!
How I approach it: I try to start with an empty file in a public repo, and then make frequent commits as I build/develop it. My assumption is that what I make is the worst possible version of it; the only chance I have of making it better is putting it out there so others can help me make it better.
I have almost 60 public repos on Github, at least a dozen of them active projects in various states of progress. I have so many ideas of projects that I either want to finish or build, and your support will help me dedicate the time to do that work.
A little about me...

JS and open web technologies are among Kyle's favorite tools to augment human endeavors. Kyle has published 10+ books on JS, taught thousands of developers from teams around the world, and his training videos have been watched over 750,000 hours. He's still fighting for the people behind the pixels.
