Hello! I'm Paladini. I build software solutions like weatherpace.run — a tool designed to help runners adjust their pace based on real-time weather conditions.

I develop, maintain, and support these projects in my spare time. Even though the code isn't open-source, I am committed to keeping the service 100% free for the community.

Sponsoring me is the best way to say "thanks" if my tools have helped you, and it ensures I can keep paying the server bills without adding ads or paywalls.

@paladini

As an independent developer, my most constrained resource is time. Every hour I dedicate to open-source is an hour not spent on paid client work. This foundational milestone provides a "community stipend" that allows me to carve out dedicated hours each week purely for Paladini Labs. Achieving this goal means I can consistently work on new features and bug fixes without financial guilt. It may cover API costs for experimenting with powerful AI models (like GPT-4, Claude 3, etc.), which is crucial for building cutting-edge tools. You are directly funding the focused time required for deep work and innovation.
