Hi! I'm breadthe and I'm currently located in the US Midwest, around the Chicagoland area.
During the day I'm a full time PHP programmer, but at night I love to work on side projects. My favorite stack includes Laravel, Livewire, Tailwind CSS and Alpine.js. For static sites or JS-heavy stuff I prefer Svelte and SvelteKit. Sometimes I need to build cross-platform desktop apps that work offline and I have recently jumped on the Tauri train. Before Tauri I used Electron for the same.
How does your sponsorship help me?
I am a serial side-project starter. I have a ton of ideas but I discard them early in the prototyping stage if I feel they're not viable. The last week alone I started 4 new projects and abandoned 3.
I want to focus more on making free and open source tools that people actually use. Sponsoring those projects is a clear indicator that "this tool brings me value".
I'd love to work full time on open source tools and apps but with a full time job I only get a few hours a week. It would be nice to focus on work that people value.
In summary

sponsor the tools and apps that bring you value
allow me to focus more on those
in the future spend 100% on open source
