Become a sponsor to Baryo Dev

BaryoDev builds small, single-purpose open source packages, and sends fixes back to the projects they sit on top of.

What is here now

Around 76,000 downloads across fifteen published packages. Everything is MIT or MPL-2.0, source published, no paid tier, no hosted service, nothing held back behind a licence key.

The part that matters more than a download count

Most of the bugs that hurt a small package are not in the package. They are one layer down, in whatever it is built on. Recently merged upstream:

• Marten #5240, a null reference in store-level CompactStreamAsync
• Marten #5215, HardDeleteWhere could not reach already soft-deleted rows
• Marten #5202, a paged endpoint declaring the wrong 200 response type
• JasperFx #670, an assembly scan reporting a ceiling it never reached
• testcontainers-dotnet #1735 and #1731, a MongoDB container counting log lines instead of probing the server

That is the working style: trace a failure to where it actually lives, fix it there, and prove the fix rather than asserting it.

These projects are open to contributors on purpose

Not as a formality. Issues are written to be picked up by someone who has never seen the code: what is wrong, where in the file, what should change, and what a test for it would assert.

There are currently 44 issues labelled good first issue across the org. Comment /take on one and it is yours.

What sponsorship pays for

Time. These are maintained outside client work, and the limit is hours rather than interest. Money here turns into triaged issues, released fixes, and upstream patches that everyone gets whether they sponsor or not.
