Become a sponsor to Audrey M. Roy Greenfeld
I make useful things for Python developers and share the process in public.
I created Cookiecutter, co-authored Two Scoops of Django, co-founded PyLadies, and now work independently on open-source software, technical writing, and experiments.
My work includes:
- Air, an AI-first Python web framework built on FastAPI, Pydantic, and HTMX.
- Cookiecutter PyPackage, a modern template for starting Python packages with documentation, typing, tests, secure CI, and release automation.
- Cookiecutter, the project-template tool I created and continue to care about.
- Small libraries, Air packages, creative tools, and technical writing shared through my website.
Right now, my focus is Air development, Cookiecutter PyPackage improvements, and writing about Python tooling. I work in seasons: sometimes on releases and fixes, sometimes on research, writing, or a new tool. That independence is important to me.
Sponsorship helps fund:
- open-source software and writing that remain public and free;
- time to think deeply about difficult problems;
- small tools and experiments before they have an obvious business case;
- meaningful improvements to existing projects when the time is right.
Companies sponsor this work because their teams use public software and want to help sustain the maintainer and ecosystem behind it.
Sponsorship is patronage, not a purchase. It does not include support, response-time promises, prioritized bugs, private access, roadmap influence, or promised deliverables.
If Cookiecutter, Air, my writing, or any of the tools I’ve shared has helped you, one-time or monthly support is a kind way to help make more of that work possible.
Thank you.
To help me stay focused and motivated to: 1. Get Air from alpha to beta. I’ll work to expand the documentation, write community tutorials to make it more accessible, stabilize core functionality, and figure out optimal third-party package patterns to start an ecosystem of Air packages or plugins. 2. Iterate on Cookiecutter Package, innovating on Python packaging best practices obsessively to make it go where no Python package boilerplate has gone before. I have so many ideas I want to implement there.
