Become a sponsor to David Aerne
Hi, I’m David – an indie developer, interaction engineer, and lifelong tinkerer. I build tools that explore the space between code, color, and creativity.
I maintain the largest open-source list of named colors, and develop libraries like Poline and Rampensau for generating color ramps. Whether you're a developer, designer, artist, or data vis nerd—if you work with color, you might find something useful here.
Your sponsorship helps me dedicate more time to making thoughtful, well-crafted tools—without needing to chase client work or trends. If you like what I do, consider supporting it. It means a lot.
Hitting $2,000/month means I can work one full day a week on improving the color name API and related tools, covering server costs and development time. Your support keeps this project alive and growing for everyone who needs reliable color data.
