Some amazing engineers that @Ryan Atallah, @Robin Stewart, and I sponsor on GitHub for their important contributions to our field (i.e. visual programming, low-math optimization, thought-as-code, etc): 1. Jamie Brandon (@jamii) 🛠️ spindleapp.co/GitHub-jamii 2. Paul Bricman 🤖 spindleapp.co/GitHub-paulbricman 3. Max Krieger (@Max Krieger) ⚙️ spindleapp.co/GitHub-maxkrieger 4. [Hopefully we can add Lordio to this list in the near future 🧮 spindleapp.co/lordio] ❓*_Looking for recs:_ Who else on GitHub should we know about?*

Nah, let's have a discussion about this! What's the thinking behind routing the links through your own website? Is it just that you want to track how many clicks each of them get?

@Ivan Reese Nothing that nefarious or coordinated: I just pasted from our social media ask with the same content—which does automatically use our link shortener for that purpose—and didn’t update the URLs. This invites two questions: (1) Should I/we manually edit/resolve URLs in that kind of situation? (2) If the post/ask/link is already on a social media account somewhere, (a) does it make more sense to share the original link instead and/or (b) does the fact that it was a company’s social media account disqualify from this Slack (for risking being implicitly promotional)?

I've gone 4/5ths of the way to setting up a Github sponsor thingy, but have questions about how potential sponsor organizations see the whole thing. Could you talk about that a bit, @Carson Kahn?

I recommend sponsoring https://github.com/osnr (author of TabFS, previously a researcher at Dynamicland)

@jhaip Great suggestion, thanks! I’m really sad that several of @osnr’s non-TabFS projects like Spreadsheet and Ten-Hundred (both of which are of professional interest to us) don’t seem to be online anymore, although others like Cruncher and PrettyPrint remain personal favorites 🤩 (/cc @Ryan Atallah @Robin Stewart) @Jack Rusher Sure thing!
