Open source, in the open
Hi, I’m Valithor Obsidion. On GitHub I’m @valzargaming.
I build and maintain the DiscordPHP ecosystem and a shelf of ReactPHP libraries and bots. Your sponsorship keeps them fed, patched, and moving.
What your sponsorship supports
Everything here is MIT-licensed and used in production by other people. Sponsorship pays for the unglamorous half — issue triage, release chores, keeping up with API breakage, and the docs.
The shelf
A sample of what’s maintained here. All MIT, all async PHP on ReactPHP, all with real users filing real issues.

Sponsoring is the whole business model
There’s no paid tier, no open-core bait-and-switch, no rug pull planned. If these libraries save you a sprint, chip in so the next release lands on time.
