Hi there! 👋🏻 Welcome to my GitHub Sponsors page!

I’m Jonas Geiler, a software developer from Austria who’s always coming up with new ideas and is eager to experiment in many different areas. My open-source journey has involved a variety of projects where I've tackled odd problems and created fun programs from scratch. From making a whole 3D raytracer with Lua and writing a high-speed Brainfuck interpreter in PHP to maintaining popular Svelte component libraries, my work covers a lot of different areas. 😅

My Motivation

What motivates me is the sheer joy of tackling difficult problems and the satisfaction of seeing my projects come to life. It doesn't matter if it's writing a 3D raytracer or an Intel 8080 emulator — overcoming challenges is what keeps me motivated! I'm also dedicated to writing software that's both sustainable and energy-efficient, and I always hope my work encourages others in the community to do so as well. 👀

What I Do

Here are some of my most notable projects:

  • svelte-tiny-virtual-list: A lightweight virtual list component for Svelte - probably my most popular project ever with almost 500,000 downloads! Holy sh**!
  • svelte-infinite-loading: Another Svelte component that's been well-received, which helps out with creating infinite scrolling lists.

On top of that, I maintain a bunch of Lua, PHP and JavaScript/TypeScript libraries and also work on a few forks of unmaintained projects, like tsc-files, to make sure they stay useful to the community.

Why Sponsor Me?

Your sponsorship will help me keep up with my ongoing work and cover essential expenses like:

  • Domain and server hosting costs: Keeping my projects accessible and up to date.
  • Personal expenses: Like feeding my cat 🐈 (and myself, eventually!).

Future Plans

I have many exciting plans for the future, including:

  • Major Updates for my Svelte Components: Modernizing svelte-tiny-virtual-list and svelte-infinite-loading with better SvelteKit support!
  • Lua 3D Rasterizer Rewrite: Rewriting 3d-rasterizer-lua to utilize my new lua-fenster GUI library for the "ultimate" home-grown 3D engine!
  • Learning Go: Developing a 3D raytracer in Go to finally learn the language and also have a much faster alternative to 3d-raytracer-lua, which could eventually even render animations!
  • Interactive GitHub Profile: Creating an interactive Game for my GitHub Profile README. No details yet 👀
  • And even more unrevealed projects! :shipit:

Thank you for considering supporting my work. With your help, I can continue to create, maintain, and share innovative projects with the community. Let's build something amazing together!

Reaching this goal would pretty much cover all of my server hosting costs, which I would be incredibly thankful for! ❤
