Hylke Bons 🥜Mar 3

hey everyone,

you may have guessed reading between the lines, but I lost my job in the recent tech layoffs…

also burnt out and realised I need to go back to working on stuff I care about.

I hope to gather enough small monthly sponsors to at least cover the bills, so I can:

- 🖥️ create beautiful apps for #Linux / #GNOME

- ✏️ provide free #design support to #OpenSource projects

if you like my work, please consider $1/month to make this possible?

thank you. :)

Hello! I'm Hylke. I'm a product designer who codes. I design and build software. Both how it looks, and how it works.

 I love working with people from all over the world.

two months in now! :)

only 6 people short of my first big milestone of 64 monthly sponsors.

the average is around $4/m, which is a lot higher than I thought.

but even $1 helps! I'm keeping the tiers intentionally low because monthly amounts help me plan over single donations. 🌱

also I'd rather be supported by the community than being dependent on a couple bigger organisations.

thank you!
