Become a sponsor to Christian Parpart

Hi, my name is Christian, born and still living in Berlin, Germany,

I work part-time for Ethereum Foundation to work on Solidity compiler, but in my free time I work on open source projects - since about 28+ years, I always loved open source and working with and on open source projects. I embrace openness as well as clean code, and applications that matter to the end-users.

In my free time I currently put all my dedication to create a fresh and modern terminal emulator - Contour - that is not just platform independant (Linux, OS/X, Mac), but also supports all the modern features one may need or want.

As a necessity I also had to create a sub project - libunicode - to provide a modern C++ API to access Unicode properties and algorithms to help improve the quality of my open source terminal emulator contour - a project that I hope will become my lifetime project.

Sponsoring me will absolutely make me happy because it makes me and my project feel appreciated, and - eventually - I can take a month off to work full time on it? That would be an interesting push!

If you are willing to support me, I am very very grateful for that. Many thanks, I will appreciate that a lot.

@christianparpart

In order to potentially work fulltime on Contour. This covers my monthly fixed costs plus coffee and lunch, without asking for more than I need a month. I can't even say more thanks if what dream would become true.

Being being curious but serious. You love what I do, and want to help me staying healthy while coding. :-)

Now we are serious. That's worth half a week of full time coding on Contour and related. I'd love to do that.

This is half a month of full time coding on Contour, that is amazing when it is happening. Be sure to watch my stream on Twitch while doing so. Many thanks a lot, I will appreciate that and put all the money into code.

$2,000 a month

Being serious! This tier is for those being gifted enough and want to give me the clear message to work one month full time(!) on Contour and related projects. That's my ultimate goal, and I will surely be very thankful and do all my best to give that appreciation back, in code.
