Hello! 👋

I'm Joe, a developer passionate about open source 📜 and interactive computing experiences 💻 .

Projects

I'm working on LUME, an open source toolkit that aims to lower the barrier of entry for creating interactive multi-user computing experiences.

At its core, LUME aims to be a set of tools that are each individually usable on their own, while as a whole contribute to an easy way of building 2D or 3D connected computing experiences for all device form factors.

Some of the pieces that LUME is composed of are:

• lume - HTML elements for interactive 2D or 3D applications
• glas - WebGL graphics engine written in AssemblyScript
• @lume/element - System for defining HTML elements (f.e. <lume-cube> or <lume-sphere>)
• @lume/variable - Reactivity system
• element-behaviors - Mix multiple functionalities onto HTML elements (like an entity-components system)

LUME's README has more details.

How sponsorship helps

Sponsoring me will help LUME to take off and to provide a new generation of tools for interactive development that are easier for new creatives to get started with than ever before, while still being powerful for expert developers.

I also help to maintain some other projects that LUME depends on, f.e. Tween.js (used for LUME animations) and Docsify (used for LUME's documentation). Sponsoring me will also help to keep those projects moving forward.

Sponsorship funds will be used for living expenses, travel expenses related to conferences or meetups where LUME will be showcased, educational material including documentation and videos, and personal support depending on sponsorship tier, and anything else relating to the development of LUME and its dependencies (I contributes back to open source by contributing to LUME's dependencies).
