I have a GitHub sponsor page now

I have decided to open up a GitHub sponsor page. Recently I released the Neovim plugin nvim-ts-rainbow2, which has garnered a lot of stars, so I figured I might as well try this sponsor thing. There is also a Monero wallet for those who prefer to forgo the middle-man.

When I started uploading code to the internet it was mostly code written by me for myself. Sure, there was a good amount of documentation and commentary so other people could profit, but let's be honest: most people don't care about the code, they want a software they install via a default package manager, or at least build with minimal effort.

I want to make my software more than a disposable hackjob, I want to give it the final polish to become a complete product which can be of use to other people. But polishing takes time, which is hard to justify when the software already does all I personally need from it. Sponsorship can help me push over that last hurdle. What does it mean to give a software the last polish?

• Proper test coverage (unit, integration, end-to-end)

• Use of a standard or well-known build system for easy installation

• Inclusion in a default package manager

• Proper documentation

Of course not all of these points are always applicable and there might be some more points that I have forgotten, but the point stands.
