What do I do?

Renewed Tab

I created and maintain a browser extension called Renewed Tab. See Renewed Tab's donation page.

Luanti (formerly known as Minetest)

As a core developer, I've reviewed many hundreds of PRs and contributed hundreds of patches. I've also created a ton of resources, mods and tools for Luanti, such as:

ContentDB - being able to download mods, games, and texture packs from within Luanti was a game-changer.
Luanti Modding Book - a book to gently introduce people to the Luanti API.
Capture the Flag - game and server. I was the original creator and led the project from 2012 to 2019, but have now handed it over.
Mods - including awards, food, and sfinv.
NodeBoxEditor - a tool to create node boxes.

I've performed outreach for Luanti - running the social media accounts, enabling the Luanti blog, and representing Luanti with a stall at four conferences.

Why Donate?

🧾 Cover my costs: Donating helps cover my costs, which includes server hosting for ContentDB and Renewed Tab, a paid weather API, and occassionally outreach for Luanti.

🚀 Unlock the future: Excess funding will give me room to do more Luanti outreach, upgrade servers, pay for things like art / translations, and spend more time on Luanti / my projects.

☕ Support me: By donating you show me that you appreciate my work, and it encourages me to spend more time to contributing to Luanti. Buying me a coffee helps with my productivity!

Please only donate if you are financially stable. You should prioritise yourself first. This means don't donate if you're a student or a kid.

My Costs

FOSDEM 24

I represented Luanti at FOSDEM 24 and 25. I paid for flyers, stickers, and my travel and accommodation. For FOSDEM 25, this came to $1,221.

Services

I pay €17.57pm (~$19) on server hosting (ContentDB, Renewed Tab, my websites), and $45pm on an AccuWeather subscription for Renewed Tab. Each donation platform also charges fees, which increases costs further.

Ways to Donate

Liberapay is the best option for recurring subscriptions, as Patron takes 8% + fees on all donations.
