Become a sponsor to Laura Luebbert, Ph.D.
Hi! I’m Laura, the lead developer and maintainer of various open-source projects, including the gget project. If you enjoy using gget or value open-source initiatives in general, I’d love your support to help me keep these tools free, updated, and accessible for everyone.
Projects like gget have become essential bioinformatics resources, with gget alone reaching over 100,000 downloads by March 2024 🎉. As open-source endeavors, these projects are freely available to all. However, maintaining their high-quality results requires ongoing updates and testing, particularly due to the evolving nature of the databases they interact with.
In addition to technical upkeep, I'm dedicated to making my projects accessible to everyone, from novice programmers to experienced researchers. One of the steps I've taken towards maximizing inclusivity was translating project websites into Spanish, but there's much more to be done. I’m currently doing this work unpaid in my spare time.
By becoming a sponsor, you’ll be supporting not only the ongoing development and improvement of projects like gget but also ensuring it remains a reliable tool for researchers and scientists around the world. Your contribution will make a big difference in keeping these essential resources freely accessible. Thank you for supporting open-source innovation!
