I'm Chris. I build native ports, preservation projects, developer tools, and other experiments, often taking software that was never meant to run on modern hardware and figuring out how to make it work.

A lot of these projects start because I think something should exist and I want to see if I can build it. Lately, far more people have started following and using the work than I ever expected.

Sponsorship is simply a way to help me keep doing more of it. These projects take real time, hardware, services, and development expense to build and maintain. Everything I release publicly stays available publicly; sponsorship isn't buying access to the software.

If you've enjoyed one of the ports, found one of my tools useful, or just want to see what I try to get running next, your support helps give me more time and resources to keep building.

Thanks for checking out my work.

@chrissotraidis

I'd love to find the first 25 people who want to help keep this work going. Sponsorship helps cover hardware, development tools, testing, and the other costs behind the ports, preservation projects, and weird software I build.
