GitHub Sponsors Profile

Hi there 👋 I am Martin. I am the co-founder and CTO of VIABIRDS and the main author of Dante - Book Tracker. I am also currently working on a cross-platform port for it. I am also working on something secret for podcasts, that will be open-sourced soon. So, stay tuned 📻 (pun intended).
Here are the links to my main projects:

📚 Dante - Book Tracker
📚 DanteX - Cross Platform Port of Dante
🎙️ Athena: A really nice tool for publishing podcasts. Soon to be open-sourced.

Why is sponsorship for me important?
I am an advocate for free software. I still believe that apps should be freely accessible or should at least offer a free that gives value to the customer. I am not an advocate of early paywalls or pay-to-win programs. I am also not an advocate of advertisements. Dante, the book tracker app is free of ads. Athena will most likely contain a subscription model but mainly to cover the running costs. I am a founder of a company and recently became a dad. My time for writing open-source software is rare, but I do it with my full heart. Hence, any funds supporting me to do that are highly appreciated.
