My primary open-source contribution grew out of my everyday needs - I use Sentry error tracking and monitoring system and I want to be notified about critical incidents in the most instant way, to my Telegram client (one of the most popular instant messenger across the globe).

In addition to this, I shared my knowledge of (slightly shrouded in mystery 🥷) Sentry plugin system architecture and "how-to" for building your own Sentry plugin at the PyCon conference (can be found on YouTube).

How Sponsorship Boosts Work

I'm happy to know that my tool is in demand by the community of people, close to me in spirit - who care about the quality of their projects, curious and passionate.
Just like I see the interest in the indicators of visits to the repository/pypi, it is much more transparent and drives me more when I see people who appreciate the result of my work and decide to support me here.

Also, in case companies 👔 of different sizes 💼, that use my tool to help their teams maintain reliability 💰, decide to share some honey 🐝

Technically, your support will help supply me with coffee mugs ☕ as I work on ensuring compatibility with the latest Sentry release 🔬 and developing new features (welcome to Issues!), probably on a VPS 🖥️ partially sponsored by you 🎉
