Kostis Maninakis
@maninak

I'm Kostis. I build and maintain OSS that developers actually depend on, including ts-xor (20M+ downloads) and, more recently, @maninak/eslint-config, the Radicle VS Code Extension, Radicle Planning Boards, and the radicle.at public seed as an ex-Radworks member. Radicle, for the unfamiliar, is the peer-to-peer alternative to GitHub.

My focus is developer tooling and the user experience around it: build systems, bundlers, pipelines, linters, CI, configs, architecture, and dive into the kind of tech debt most people would rather not look at. If you're running away from it, I probably love working on it. Combine that with real performance goals and a UI that's a pleasure to use, and that's where I do my best work.

Why donate

I write open source because it's fun, but sustaining it takes time I'd otherwise spend on paid work. Your support directly buys me hours I can spend shipping, maintaining, and answering issues instead of context-switching to client projects.

• €35/month covers the running costs of what I already maintain.
• €720/month allows me dedicate a focused day per week to OSS.
• €3,600/month is the threshold where I can go full-time on this

Other ways to help that cost nothing: star ✨ my repos on GitHub, seed 🌱 them on Radicle, share them with colleagues, or send a kind message. All of it counts.
