Hi! I'm Wez and I've been working on Open Source projects since the late '90s. I've worked on quite a range of things from PHP's internals and extension ecosystem, through to automated debuggers, messaging systems, created the watchman filesystem monitoring service and the EdenFS source control aware fuse filesystem.

My current spare time hobby hacking is in a couple of areas:

• WezTerm - a feature-rich cross platform terminal emulator
• Custom mechanical keyboards such as my Half Deck keyboard. I contributed support for BLE to the QMK firmware as part of this journey, and bootstrapped Rust support for ATSAMD micro-controllers, and brought together the nRF Rust folks along the way.

Your contribution will help me in a couple of ways:

• Your support will enable me to continue building and maintaining WezTerm. It can be challenging to support across all the different operating systems and environments. There are thousands of users, and even though there have been a few contributors, it's really just carried by me in my spare time.
• I'd like to be able to code-sign the macOS and Windows builds of WezTerm. This requires non-trivial recurring fees to maintain the developer identity that I can't justify as an out of pocket expense.
• On the keyboard/hardware side, having more resources for more advanced/powerful maker gear and/or more frequently being able to order up some PCBs for a new idea helps to iterate and innovate more quickly.
