Happy 2019, readers! As I move into 2019, I wanted to publicize something that has *existed* for most of the last year, but which I have not yet made much noise about: [my Patreon](https://patreon.com/chriskrycho)! In this space, I write blog posts and essays on technology, theology, and art. I write about the process of building open-source software. I sometimes even write poetry and compose music and share those here! *I do all of those things no matter what.* But if you wanted to support my various efforts in this space by helping me stay well-supplied with delicious coffee, I'd really appreciate it! The benefits for patrons, as I'm publicly launching it: | $1/month | $5/month | $25/month | | ---------------------- | ----------------------------------------------------------------------------- | -------------------------------------------------------- | | A shoutout on Twitter! | ⃪ plus access to a private podcast about what I'm thinking about and working! | ⃪ plus commentary and ancillary materials for my essays! | I don’t expect this kind of patronage ever to be a massive part of my income. I do think it’s a good thing to support the writers and thinkers whose work impacts us, and so it’s important to *let* people support us if they’re interested in doing so! So if you’d like to support the work I do on this website, and especially if you’d like to see me do more of the important, careful essays that are the kinds of things I want to be doing, consider supporting me! (Note that posts about this will not be a regular occurrence on the blog. I will probably integrate a link to the Patreon account into my RSS feed, but otherwise I will not mention it on the site more than once a year.) Regardless of whether you support my work on this site financially, thank you for reading!
