Kevin R. Whitley

kwhitley
Houston, TX

I'm a long-time open source author/builder, passionate about creating more with less effort (and fewer bytes).

I'm most known for itty-router, which helped pave the way for the itty.dev ecosystem of micro libraries. Additionally, I've just launched ittysockets.com, a 100% free service to jump-start the development of realtime apps.

Follow me @kevinrwhitley on Twitter | LinkedIn

P.S. - Your support helps speed up development on any OSS and community-focused projects, as well as fund more free services. I'm eternally grateful to each and every one of you who has chosen to support me in any way (even kind words!) 🙏

All live sponsors will be featured (in lifetime contribution order) at the top of ittysockets.com and the upcoming redesign of itty.dev - as well as any future SaaS services launched (now that I have the process ironed out). I'm extremely grateful for the support of my sponsors, and am trying to figure out how best to showcase them!

Please note that if you're listed as a private sponsor, I respect your privacy and will not disclose your position, name, or logo.

@kwhitley

Enable full time support of current/future OSS projects and continued development of tools with the mindset of "write less, do more". Currently it's quite difficult to juggle this in addition to tech leadership roles within companies!

Not only do you help keep me on the warpath of community-driven development, but this funds my give-it-all-back-to-the-community free SaaS plans as well.

I'm incredibly fortunate to have a few long-standing champions in this tier, and am eternally grateful to the generous support these folks have shown me, and how much it's encouraged my continued work on trying to improve how we build things.
