Who am I?

Hi. I am the maintainer of Baileys, whatsmeow and whatsapp-web.js, the three most prominent WhatsApp Web API automation projects.

What is this Program?

This is a sponsors program in order to allow me to continue my work in the open-source sector, and pay for costs related to open-source development. To the right (and down), you can see the tiers listed.

What are the benefits

The most exclusive benefit is the 1 hour meeting. You can book one to the right under "one-time". Professional Sponsors get 1 hour meeting every 2 months which is cheaper than outright booking (You get your meeting by the 2nd month).

More benefits coming soon!!!!!! Stay tuned as I am still fixing access control systems so sponsors can access their perks.

How are the funds being used?

• Donations to other members of the community, latest example being my donation of 500$ to @vphelipe after their work on the lowercase hex id (66e) issue, and a sizeably large monthly donation to @jlucaso1 and @vinikjkkj (few hundred USD)
• Domain registration fees, currently the WhiskeySockets project operates 3 domains, and 2 other retired domains that we'll keep paying for in a year (a .com and .io domains). ( Few hundred $ / yr )
• Discord bots (translation, ticketing, FAQ, polling, other tools) (Over 100$/month)
• Webpage hosting fees
• Cloud fees for Baileys tests, among phone number fees for numbers used to test Baileys (hundreds / month)
• Other expenses needed for the health and sustenance of the project. (varies)

Note: All tiers include the benefits of the tiers before them
