Support

If my work has been useful, here's how to help.

First, the important part: none of this is necessary. Everything I build is free, and it stays that way — no paywalls, no ads, nothing gated behind a subscription. This page only exists because people have asked how they can chip in.

If you're in a position to support the work financially, it goes directly into building things like Trident Tracker and MattMakes3D. And if you're not — sharing my work helps just as much, genuinely.

Chip in

Buy me a pizza (or a spool)

Coming soon Patreon For anyone who wants to support the work on an ongoing basis — with behind-the-scenes build logs and early looks at what I'm making. I'm still putting it together. Not open yet — follow along and you'll hear when it is

Where it goes

What you're actually funding

Support goes toward the development of my current and future projects — the tools, apps, and experiments I'm building now, and whatever comes next.

I'm one person doing this around a full-time job. Support doesn't become a salary — it covers the real costs of keeping these projects running and free for everyone.

Free & just as valuable

Can't spare the cash? Totally fine.

Money is the least interesting way to support someone's work. These cost nothing and genuinely help more:

Share a post

Send something I wrote to one person who'd like it. That does more than you'd think.

Rate an app

A quick App Store review for Trident Tracker helps it get found by other fans.

Tell me it broke

Bug reports and feature ideas make the apps better for everyone. I read all of them.

Follow along

Subscribe via RSS or follow on socials — an audience is what keeps projects alive.

Either way — thank you. Whether you send a slice, share a post, or just read the thing: it all counts, and I appreciate it.
