I am developing and maintaining the CLI tools which eliminate routines that many people commonly repeat. On the other hand, I also make joke tools that entertain many people.

• greymd/tmux-xpanes
  • Awesome tmux-based terminal divider
• greymd/teip
  • Highly efficient "Masking tape" for Shell
• egison/egison
  • The Egison Programming Language
  • Packages for Linux/macOS
    • egison/egison-package-builder
    • egison/homebrew-egison
• greymd/egzact
  • Generate flexible patterns on the shell
• greymd/ojichat
  • Generate sentences that elders might send you on message apps.
• unkontributors/super_unko
  • Super Unko project is the one of the awesome, clean and sophisticated OSS projects in the world.

How are sponsorship fees utilized?

Testing and maintenance of packages that make all engineers happy 😄

• Cost of servers for validation of tools.
  • Expenses for validation, especially for Windows and ARM, etc., as they need computing resources in the cloud
• Motivation for development
  • More sponsors will help my family and give me more time to maintain the package.
  • Some of packages (like tmux-xpanes) are quite influential packages in the world.

Future ideas for more sponsors

If I get a sponsor that exceeds my goals, I would consider the following

Idea 1: Private Slack channel to discuss development and package maintenance.
I am particularly confident in Bash scripting as I have written a book on shell scripting in Japan. Of course, I would also be available for Linux troubleshooting and consultation on Rust and Go languages.

Idea 2: Package distribution of Egison in multiple architectures
I am a package maintainer for Egison, which is a pattern-matching oriented language. Currently, Egison executables are not cross-compilable, so users on Windows and non-x86_64 architectures cannot install them without build. However, if we can gather enough sponsors, we can use the funds to distribute pre-built binaries for many platforms and spread the pattern-match oriented paradigm around the world.
