Hello, this is Postmodern 🌊 er I mean 👋. You may remember me from such projects as, chruby, ruby-install, and bundler-audit. I have been contributing to Open Source since the early 2000s (first gig was volunteering as a Gentoo Arch Tester) and now maintain almost 100 libraries; most of them Ruby related. I have also been active in the Ruby community since 2008, back when we used RubyForge. As it were my luck, some of my projects ended up becoming popular and now I have feature requests and releases to deal with. Currently, I am "fun-employed" as we wait for the pandemic to end. This gives me some much needed time to recoup and do some Open Source work. Here's a short list of what I have planned:

• [X] Release new versions of ruby-install
• [ ] Release chruby 1.0.0
  • [ ] Release chruby-1.0.0.beta1 and collect feedback
  • [ ] Release chruby-1.0.0.rc1
• [X] Release new versions of bundler-audit (with JSON output and more!)
  • [X] Release bundler-audit-0.8.0.rc1
  • [X] Release bundler-audit-0.8.0.rc2
  • [X] Release bundler-audit-0.8.0
• [X] Create a DRY Ruby CLI library, drawing from lessons learned from writing Ronin::UI::CLI::Command (ex: no other Ruby CLI library rescues Interrupt or Errno::EPIPE, causing them to print an ugly backtrace if you Ctrl^C or pipe it into | less and quit).
  • [X] Release command_kit-0.1.0.pre1
  • [X] Release command_kit-0.1.0.pre2
  • [X] Release command_kit-0.1.0
• [X] Rewrite and release hexdump-1.0.0
  • [X] Implement parsing of types
  • [X] ANSI highlighted output
• [X] Write a Ruby library around masscan similar to my ruby-nmap library.
  • [X] Upload ruby-masscan
  • [X] Release 0.1.0
• [X] A modern Ruby library for parsing NVD JSON feeds.
  • [ ] Port it to Crystal
• [X] A Ruby library for parsing the cvelist repository.
  • [ ] Port it to Crystal
• [ ] Release spidr-0.7.0 with new minor features.
• [ ] Add combinatorial monads to my ruby combinatorics library.
• [ ] Port my Ruby combinatorics library to Crystal
• [ ] Refactor Ronin and add new features. (WIP)
• [ ] Port my Ruby hexdump library to Crystal. (WIP)
• [ ] Create a DRY Ruby generator library similar to Python's Cookiecutter (think: one library to replace all of those foo-gen commands).
• [ ] Rewriting my ore rubygem generator (using the aforementioned DRY Ruby generator library) to be more streamlined and accessible.
• [ ] Develop a Processing-like framework for live video effects in Crystal.
• [ ] Write a Ruby library for converting nmap XML into JSON.

So for the small price of a latte, you too can help me accomplish these goals. OK, maybe that gif was a little too sad.

Q: What will you be spending the money on?
A: Beer. Maybe if you donate enough, Sake.

Q: What else do we get in return for giving you beer money?
A: Maybe I'll stream my development process on Twitch? Maybe I'll speak entirely through a vintage analogue vocoder? Unlock emotes?
