Why sponsor?

Most of my evenings and weekends go into free, open-source plugins for IntelliJ-based IDEs
that are used by hundreds of thousands of developers every day. They have no ads, no paid tiers,
and no company behind them – just me, a backlog of issues, and a lot of coffee.

Sponsoring keeps that work sustainable: it buys the time to fix bugs quickly, keep up with every
new IDE release, and ship the features you ask for. If one of these plugins saves you time
(or makes your IDE look cooler), please consider giving a little back. ♥

What I work on in my free time

• Neon Glow – keep your theme, add some light. Paints a soft, blurred neon
  halo behind code and the whole IDE UI of JetBrains IDEs – configurable radius and intensity, respects
  Power Save Mode, recolors instantly with your color scheme.
• Foldable Project View – declutters the Project View
  of IntelliJ-based IDEs by folding files and directories that match your rules (READMEs, CI configs,
  build scripts, dotfiles, VCS-ignored files) into named, colored groups – or hiding them entirely.
• .ignore – support for .gitignore, .dockerignore,
  and dozens of other ignore-like files, with syntax highlighting, completion, and file coloring.

What I build at @JetBrains

Open-source tooling for the IntelliJ Platform and Gradle ecosystem:

• IntelliJ Platform Plugin Template –
  a GitHub template that gets a new plugin project up and running in minutes, with CI, tests,
  and publishing pre-configured.
• IntelliJ Platform Gradle Plugin –
  the Gradle plugin for building, testing, verifying, and publishing plugins for IntelliJ-based IDEs.
• Gradle Changelog Plugin – tasks and helpers
  for changelogs maintained in the keep a changelog style.
• Advent of Code Kotlin Template –
  skip the setup and start solving puzzles right away.

Earlier work

As a former full-stack developer, I've also published a number of JavaScript, Webpack, and AWS projects,
plus a few smaller IDE plugins (IDEA LaTeX,
VCS watch, Node Security).
You can find all of them on my GitHub profile.

Thank you for your support – every sponsorship, no matter the size, makes a real difference. 🙏
