Made in the European Union
Open source · EUPL 1.2 · built independently

Back the library
your code relies on.

functional-reactive is developed in the open by one engineer alongside client work. Sponsorship is what keeps the lights on for new features, maintenance against new JDKs, and timely releases.

Where the money goes

Four concrete things your sponsorship buys

Not a black box. Sponsorship pays for the work already on the roadmap and the steady-state maintenance that keeps the library production-grade.

01

JDK compatibility

Keeping the library green across JDK 8, 11, 17, 21 and every new LTS. Tedious work, more important than features.

02

Faster issue turnaround

Bug reports and regression issues get triaged in days, not weeks. Sponsors get priority on the queue.

03

New features

Records-based tuples shipped; pattern-matching Case polish, structured concurrency adapters, and more on deck.

04

Outreach & docs

Tutorials, blog posts, and conference talks that bring more contributors in. A bigger ecosystem benefits everyone running the library.

Promises

What sponsorship does not change

🇪🇺

License stays EUPL 1.2

No bait-and-switch to a proprietary or "source-available" license. EUPL 1.2, permanently, for everyone.

⚖️

Public roadmap

Sponsor input is recorded in public issues. No back-channel decisions that shape the codebase without the community seeing them.

🚪

No lock-in

Cancel any time. Drop the dependency any time. The library is small enough to fork — and I'd rather you have that option than feel trapped.

Two paths

Every contribution counts

Individuals & small teams use GitHub Sponsors — quick, monthly, cancel any time.
Companies reach out by email for annual corporate sponsorship with SLAs and roadmap input.
