Hi there! I'm Oliver Caldwell (Olical) and I work on various tools for the Clojure ecosystem.

Most notably, Conjure, conversational software development for Neovim primarily aimed at Clojure and ClojureScript. I am trying to build simple tools that are easy to use but provide heaps of value for you and your team.

If you use my tools to earn money, I'd really appreciate even a tiny contribution. The money acts as a huge motivator, no matter how small. If I earned enough it would become a source of income I can potentially start to rely on to free up more time for open source, something I deeply care about.

Regardless, have a great day!

@Olical

A ludicrous goal, but this would mean I could work on open source full time. Something I don't think will ever happen, but you've got to have a dream, right?

If you haven't got a lot of expendable income but want to support me somehow, maybe just buy me a coffee once a month. It's highly appreciated and will aid development speed at the very least.

If you'd rather buy a coffee without the commitment, maybe consider donating through ko-fi instead.

I would say "it's not enough to live off" but I do technically survive on coffee.

If you're a jobbing Clojure developer earning your salt through Conjure, maybe throw a little of that salt my way.

My justification is that I'm always around to support you over on Clojurians Slack (#conjure) and take great pride in providing you with consistent improvements without breakages.

I try my utmost to never break your day to day workflow through sudden upgrades or dependency conflicts. Conjure is designed to work in as many contexts as possible while avoiding conflicts with existing tools and dependencies.

I think a tool that works as you expect, all of the time and continually improves is well worth £8.15 a month (let's see how $10 converts post-Brexit 😭).

$18 a month

Select

An echo of the previous sentiment but for those of you with a little more to spend. This is extremely appreciated, it genuinely means so much to me that people are happy to pay for the tools I build and maintain.

I hope to bring you many happy years of development through the projects I've spent years of my free time developing.

If you have a team that all use Conjure (or any of my other tools!) and you'd like to support the development with much more direct support and help, this is for you.

It would be incredible to receive this sort of support and I doubt it will ever happen, but I'm putting it out there just in case. If Conjure is the tool you use to build your company let's get a bit of a two way street going 🙂

If you'd like your company to work with and support me directly through other means, please do get in touch! I'm sure we can work something out.
