GitHub Sponsors Profile

Hello, this is Postmodern 🌊 er I mean 👋. You may remember me from such projects as, chruby, ruby-install, and bundler-audit. I have been contributing to Open Source since the early 2000s (first gig was volunteering as a Gentoo Arch Tester) and now maintain almost 100 libraries; most of them Ruby related. I have also been active in the Ruby community since 2008, back when we used RubyForge. As it were my luck, some of my projects ended up becoming popular and now I have feature requests and releases to deal with. Currently, I am "fun-employed" as we wait for the pandemic to end. This gives me some much needed time to recoup and do some Open Source work. Here's a short list of what I have planned:

[X] Release new versions of ruby-install
[ ] Release chruby 1.0.0

[ ] Release chruby-1.0.0.beta1 and collect feedback
[ ] Release chruby-1.0.0.rc1

[X] Release new versions of bundler-audit (with JSON output and more!)

[X] Release bundler-audit-0.8.0.rc1
[X] Release bundler-audit-0.8.0.rc2
[X] Release bundler-audit-0.8.0

[X] Create a DRY Ruby CLI library, drawing from lessons learned from writing Ronin::UI::CLI::Command (ex: no other Ruby CLI library rescues Interrupt or Errno::EPIPE, causing them to print an ugly backtrace if you Ctrl^C or pipe it into | less and quit).

[X] Release command_kit-0.1.0.pre1
[X] Release command_kit-0.1.0.pre2
[X] Release command_kit-0.1.0

[X] Rewrite and release hexdump-1.0.0

[X] Implement parsing of types
[X] ANSI highlighted output

[X] Write a Ruby library around masscan similar to my ruby-nmap library.

[X] Upload ruby-masscan
[X] Release 0.1.0

[X] A modern Ruby library for parsing NVD JSON feeds.

[ ] Port it to Crystal

[X] A Ruby library for parsing the cvelist repository.

[ ] Port it to Crystal

[ ] Release spidr-0.7.0 with new minor features.
[ ] Add combinatorial monads to my ruby combinatorics library.
[ ] Port my Ruby combinatorics library to Crystal
[ ] Refactor Ronin and add new features. (WIP)
[ ] Port my Ruby hexdump library to Crystal. (WIP)
[ ] Create a DRY Ruby generator library similar to Python's Cookiecutter (think: one library to replace all of those foo-gen commands).
[ ] Rewriting my ore rubygem generator (using the aforementioned DRY Ruby generator library) to be more streamlined and accessible.
[ ] Develop a Processing-like framework for live video effects in Crystal.
[ ] Write a Ruby library for converting nmap XML into JSON.

So for the small price of a latte, you too can help me accomplish these goals. OK, maybe that gif was a little too sad.
Q: What will you be spending the money on?
A: Beer. Maybe if you donate enough, Sake.
Q: What else do we get in return for giving you beer money?
A: Maybe I'll stream my development process on Twitch? Maybe I'll speak entirely through a vintage analogue vocoder? Unlock emotes?
