I donate monthly to the following:

- Magit, needs no introduction

- Borkdude, a __massive__ Clojure ecosystem contributor

- JPMonettas, for their work on FlowStorm, an incredibly useful debugger/introspection tool for Clojure

- The CIDER project, Clojure once again

- NoahTheDuke, for their work on keeping my much beloved jinteki.net alive and we'll

All these people deserve your money imo

The random kid that compiled the LineageOS version that runs in my phone.

I still don't understand why is making LineageOS compatible with more phone models so hard compared to Linux distros in desktop, so I really appreciate all the work behind it.

Raylib and Odin programming language. Both have creators that are passionate and work mostly alone on the projects, neither has a ton of funding, and I think they're both just fun to use, and would like their creators to be able to keep working on them.
