Sponsoring amazing members of the Swift and iOS community
Last updated: May 2022
Pledge
Starting this Easter weekend, I want to express my gratitude to developers and content creators on an ongoing basis.
- Every month for (at least) a year, I will contribute $10 to Swift/iOS developers or content creators of my choice.
- I will try to split the amount between two people each month by leveraging programs like Buy Me a Coffee, Patreon, GitHub sponsorship, or other means.
Please feel free to reach out to me on Twitter (@MarcoEidinger) and give suggestions.
Motivation
This Easter (2022), I flew from California to Germany to visit my mom. I used the time in the airplane to reflect on recent activities in my life.
Not so long ago, I started to contribute to the Swift and iOS community by writing blog posts and sharing my knowledge. Also, I started actively engaging with people on Twitter, and I am really enjoying it. I might not have started this path without the inspiration of amazing developers and content creators from whom I learn daily. Often those people share their time, knowledge, work, and help on the side without any financial support.
I will continuously update this blog post every month to write down my contributions. I hope for two positive effects:
- You might find new developers and content creators from whom you can learn.
- Writing about my contributions keeps me accountable and helps me to follow through every month with my promise :)
