Hey, I'm Sindre 🦄




I love open source. For more than 3 years I've been working on open source full-time, 8-12 hours a day, while living off savings. I'm on Patreon now as my savings are slowly running out and I need your help to continue my open source efforts.

I actively maintain 1100+ npm packages (1 billion downloads a month) and many popular projects. You're probably depending on some of my packages in your dependency tree. For example, Webpack relies on 77 of my packages.

If you or your company use any of my projects or like what I’m doing, please consider backing me so I can continue maintaining and evolving these projects and new ones.

See all my amazing supporters ✨

Some of my projects include:
- Awesome - Collaborative lists on many different topics
  (6th most starred repo on GitHub)
- AVA - JavaScript test runner
- XO - JavaScript linter
- Chalk - Colorize terminal output in Node.js
  (3rd most depended upon npm package)
- Refined GitHub - Makes GitHub better for power-users
- Caprine - Privacy-focused desktop app for Facebook Messenger
- Gifski - Convert videos to high-quality GIFs on your Mac
- Got - High-quality HTTP request client for Node.js
- np - A better way to publish npm packages and updates
- electron-store - Simple data persistence for your Electron app
- Touch Bar Simulator - Use the Touch Bar on any Mac
- Pure - Pretty, minimal, and fast ZSH prompt
- modern-normalize - Normalize browsers' default style
- react-extras - Useful components & utilities for working with React
- sass-extras - Useful utilities for working with Sass
- And many more…

You can read more about me in an interview in "Between the Wires" and my AMA.

I don't care about money or things but I do need to eat and sleep. Here's a breakdown of my monthly expenses.

Goals
$3,426 of $4,000 per month
If this goal is met, I can spend less time thinking about money and private monetization channels (e.g. taking on consulting contracts, paid apps, etc) outside of work hours and instead spend that time on educational content that would benefit the community, for example, blog posts, screencasts, etc.
