Become a sponsor to Stephen Eaton

G'day, I'm Stephen 👋

I'm a maker and open-source advocate from Western Australia who spends evenings and weekends building tools I actually use every day.

What I'm working on:

I build practical, self-hosted software with a focus on doing more with less — single binaries, no cloud dependencies, and infrastructure you actually own. Current projects include go-rag, a single-binary local RAG database written in Go with hybrid BM25+vector retrieval and MCP-native design, plus a growing collection of Home Assistant custom integrations — from hyperlocal weather forecasting to fuel price prediction using statistical decomposition.

My homelab is my testbed: everything I release has been battle-tested running my own home first.

Why sponsor?

I'm a solo developer doing this alongside a full-time job. Sponsorship helps cover hosting, hardware for testing, and — most importantly — buys back time to write documentation, fix issues, and ship features faster. Every contribution, no matter the size, genuinely makes a difference.

Thanks for stopping by 🙏
