Botspot

Texas

Welcome! 👋

I am Botspot - a Raspberry Pi user, self-taught shell scripter, and broke college student. :)

My dream is for Linux to become just as widespread as Windows or Mac OS for personal computing, and to have it run well on even the cheapest Single Board Computers under $100.
Much of my free time in high school and (now) college has been invested into making free, easy-to-use programs for everyone's benefit. ❤️

For years I was opposed to receiving donations of any kind, for fear that my joy found in coding would be replaced with anxiety to keep the sponsors happy. This year (2025) I am willing to try. Now you have a chance to give back.
You love Pi-Apps? You love one of my other Free Open Source Software projects? Sponsor me with any amount you feel is fair.

Why allow donations now?

Reasonable question. It's not a long story. My parents made some reckless choices that caused great pain to a number of people. When I confronted them about it, they kicked me out of the house and said "good luck affording everything on your own." This was mid-January, 2025. I was forced to buy a car on short notice, rent a storage unit, and continue studying Engineering full-time at my university. The rest of my savings went to car insurance, a phone plan, and buying food.
Once Spring classes end, I will not have a place to live. I got a job as a janitor at my university and sell a few niche products online, but it will likely not be enough, soon enough. Any assistance with that would be deeply appreciated.

What if I don't have a Github account?

That's fine. Donate with PayPal - No account needed.

Or if crypto is your thing, send some Monero XMR coin to this wallet address:

If a lot of people did this, it would add up.

An even bigger way to say "Thank you!"
For $200/month I could try to offer you personalized help, prioritize your requests, or add your name to some READMEs, but I'm a very busy guy so no promises. :)
