Open source is like the wild west ✨

It represents a completely open territory to explore and paint my ideas upon with no rules or regulations.

And after nearly 20 years of building hundreds of OSS projects, I'm finally ready to ask for support.

My name is Travis Fischer. 👋

I'm an entrepreneur, software developer, open source author, and anime fan.

I got my start in open source building games for the TI-89 back in 2002

I'm currently exploring the Passion Economy and am excited about building products that will help enable a more independent and fulfilling future of work for developers.

I absolutely love to build. And that goes double for open source.

Most of my open source projects are focused on React, WebGL, TypeScript, computer graphics, web scraping, or video editing.

All my code is freely accessible on GitHub. ❤️

GitHub Sponsors

My goal with GitHub Sponsors is to spend more time maintaining the 100s of projects that I've written over the years and to continue developing new projects. I feel very strongly about open source and would absolutely love to spend more of my time working on novel JS / TS projects that will help move the community forwards.

I also offer one hour consultations if you're looking to get advice on JS / TS / React / Node.js.
