Publish PIP packages, rust crates, and go gophers (?). You can call them `splime-utils` or something and it'll always be available.
Pro tip: cover it with a few unit tests, and every time you get a bug report add to your series of tests.

- miningape 1y agoIt doesn't directly, a small collection of functions isn't worth paying anything for. When taking money there's a lot more expectations on the author. However, as the project and author becomes more known, the author could still collect donations through sites like patreon, buy me a coffee or Github sponsorships.
