Become a sponsor to Kevin Brown-Silva
Hi there! I'm a maintainer who doesn't work on open source software in their full time job. Does that sound like you or most of your development team? Then you'll understand why I set up GitHub Sponsors for the projects I maintain.
In my spare time, the time not spent working at a full-time job, I maintain a few projects.
Select2
- 250k unique users visited the Select2.org website last month
- 2.5k visitors download Select2 every day
- 25.6k stars and 6.4k forks on GitHub
- 1.2 billion hits every month on jsDelivr and far more on CDNjs
Select2 is a jQuery based replacement for select boxes. It supports searching, remote data sets, and infinite scrolling of results.
Django REST framework
- 20.3k stars and 5.4k forks on GitHub
- Used by 200k downstream repositories
Django REST framework is a powerful and flexible toolkit for building Web APIs.
Jinja2
- 7.5k stars and 1.3k forks on GitHub
- Used by 500k+ downstream repositories
Jinja is a modern and designer-friendly templating language for Python, modeled after Django’s templates. It is fast, widely used and secure with the optional sandboxed template execution environment:
Maintaining a single project can become a full time job, especially when it's a popular project. But as a maintainer of 3 different popular projects I have to balance my effort across all of them.
The rewards for sponsorship tiers go towards Select2, since that is the project I own and independently maintain. I can provide paid support towards the other projects I maintain as well, but any sponsorship opportunities are independent of them.

$10 a month
SelectI don't drink coffee. So buy me some other drink (or two), once a month.
You'll get a "Sponsor" badge added to your profile.
$50 a month
SelectI live in an expensive city, so this is like buying me two dinners a month.
This will ultimately encourage me to spend some extra time working on the projects I maintain.
