Become a sponsor to Diego Perini
I have been maintaining most of these libraries and utilities for over 15 years giving continuous support and have built concrete users bases. These utilities are used by other frameworks and testing libraries (node, jsdom, npm, react). Nowadays some of them reached more than 100.000.000 downloads per month.
You are going to sponsor my complete set of libraries for the Web and help me find a substitue maintainer of my work by transferring the technology behind my work for the years to come.
- nwsapi - Fastest CSS Selector Engine for both client & server (Selectors Level 4, no dependencies)
- nwevents - complete Event replacement for older IE browsers to match other browsers functionality
- nwforms - utility to handle latest HTML5 forms cross browser using feature detection for enablement
- css-support - discovery of supported browser properties/values, component of my next fingerprint
- delegates - event delegation extension for functional asynchronous programming, no load events
- regex-weburl.js - very popular regular expression to check for URL validation and LOG resolution
The objective is to improve the knowledge of these libraries through monthly online conference explaining the hidden functionalities and demonstrating their value, how they should be used and why they are better of many other solutions. I would use real world test and benchmark to show the hidden potential of each of these libraries. Probably leading to porting of the technology to other languages.
Support dperini's open source work
Allow me to plan a major investment of time for my past work to improve and document the projects and spend more time with users suggesting new implementations & improvements. For my top sponsor I would make additional work to be able to show their LOGOS in both the source code and in the online code to make them visible to particular eyes looking for more info in the Javascript console without inferring delays or other limitation to the current codebase. I will then also have the time for online conference with my sponsor's developers or participate to Javascript online conference or live meetings.
