David Peter

Stuttgart, Germany

Hello there!

My name is David. I love to create and support open source software. I'm a huge fan of modern command-line applications and actively maintain the following projects:

bat

A cat(1) clone with wings.

fd

Simple and fast alternative to 'find'.

hexyl

A colorized command-line hex viewer.

pastel

Generate and manipulate colors.

hyperfine

A command-line benchmarking tool.

insect

Scientific calculator with physical units.

Sponsoring

I am writing open source software in my free time because it has always been fun for me. I also would like it to stay this way. I therefore don't see GitHub sponsors as a way to earn money with open source. I rather see it as a platform for people who like my work to say "thank you" (in one particular way). Note that there are many other forms of saying "thank you" that I appreciate in the same way!

If you consider sponsoring me financially: Awesome! If you find the time, please write me a short message which project you like and how you use in your daily work or for your own projects. I'm always interested in feedback. Thank you so much!
