Free and open-source software plays a big part in our lives.
I cannot think of doing my work with some of the free tools that are available due to the hard and dedicated work people have put in.
Sign up and become a sponsor for Praneeth on GitHub today to support his work!

What’s in it for me?

1. Make a difference. Sponsoring your favorite open source maintainers is an excellent way to give back to your favorite project.
2. Be heard. Becoming a sponsor confirms that my work really matters to you, and will grant you some control over how I prioritize my work.
3. Keep it alive. Sponsorship helps your favorite projects to continue being maintained, and thus your personal and professional workflows to live longer.
4. Less bureaucracy. At your workplace, contributing to GitHub is not always possible due to licensing and trade secrets. Becoming a sponsor takes less time than hour-long discussions with legal.
5. Cancel anytime. End your sponsorship anytime you like – no questions asked.

Who am I, and why do I do this?

My name is Praneeth. I am a zealous person who loves to explore the latest web developments and I always wanted to be a good web developer. I'm also an open source author, maintainer, and mad scientist.

As an independent OSS developer, I rely entirely on income generated via Wordpress related work. I welcome this as yet another opportunity to do the work I love doing, and spread the word about all the improvements folks could be making to their environments, programs and communities.

I’ve joined GitHub Sponsors because in the past people have asked me how they could sponsor me. Thanks to this there is a platform that can help with that without all the fuzz.

What if you choose not to sponsor me?

We will still be friends and I will not hold a grudge. I'm going to treat as the first-class GitHub citizen you are.

Why sponsor me (and not someone else)?

Personally I think there are other people who deserve your sponsorship. If you run a business and is using my Wordpress plugin or theme in a revenue-generating product, it makes business sense to sponsor me: it ensures the project that your product relies on stays healthy and actively maintained. It can also help your exposure in the community and makes it easier to attract developers.

As the GitHub Sponsors feature gains traction, pick your favorite people later as they become available.
