Become a sponsor to Brandon Himpfen
I’ve been building and contributing to open source ❤️ since 2001 — creating tools, systems, and resources for developers, digital creators, and travelers.
My work focuses on practical, reusable projects that help people learn, build, and explore independently — from software and datasets to guides and open knowledge resources.
Maintaining and growing these projects takes time, care, and long-term commitment.
If something I’ve built has helped you — whether through code, content, or ideas — consider becoming a sponsor.
Your support helps me:
- 🛠️ Maintain and improve open source projects with clear documentation and long-term reliability
- 🌍 Build new tools, datasets, and educational resources for the open web
- 💬 Spend more time supporting the community through feedback, issues, and contributions
Sponsorship directly supports my goal of becoming a full-time open sourcer and open knowledge creator.
Thank you for supporting open knowledge and the open web. 🙏
