Hey there,
I'm Karsten, an open source author, polyglot software engineer, computational designer, educator and artist, actively developing open source tools since 1999.
Maybe you know me as the author of the thi.ng and toxiclibs.org library collections (among many others). Both are large-scale meta-projects (each 80-200k LOC and including hundreds of educational example projects), have been continuously developed over years and, at various stages, been instrumental in their respective communities (Processing/Java, Clojure/ClojureScript, TypeScript). Over the years, both projects have been key components for various award-winning computational design works (not just my own) and been used both as production and teaching tools in disparate fields like architecture, digital fabrication, generative design, data visualizations, interactive art installations, audio/DSP etc.
For the last 6+ years my current focus of development has been the thi.ng/umbrella mono-repo, a collection of ~190 TypeScript projects, providing much needed, simple - not simplistic - solutions for data driven, functional development and to generally de-clutter TypeScript development, inside & outside the browser. The umbrella project is designed as an anti-framework and antidote to other, often over-engineered OOP approaches, providing small, highly composable and complementary tools, which are easy to reason about. The project covers an extremely wide scope of development topics: from useful data structures, state containers/management, reactive programming pipelines, DSLs, low-level memory (e.g. for WASM interop) to 2D/3D geometry/visualization tools, UI generation and many more... Please check the readme to get a full impression.
My goal with GitHub Sponsors is to get to a point where I can work full-time progressing and maintaining these projects, as well as developing better support & community structures around this ecosystem. I also want to set aside more time for creating educational content, incl. live streams. If you feel this is a worthwhile effort, please consider sponsoring! Thank you in advance!
