Hello fellow haxers,
My name is Kobi, I am from Israel.
I've been on the community for some time, but wasn't very active.
I have used Haxe (and typescript) on the last coding project I was involved with, which was for a newspaper company.
I had an idea to help push Haxe forward.
It is quite lacking in the amount of libraries, although the existing ones are of high quality.
I know C# pretty well, and used to be a professional developer with C# (v4 era) and .Net
There are many many mature libraries in that mainstream language.
My idea is to have a part-time salary, by porting open source mature libraries from C# to Haxe.
In order for this to be sustainable, I'd have to have a source of income and hoped the community can provide that compensation.
I am willing to give it a real try, as an independent developer, with the aim of benefiting everyone, if enough people give a little.
Just today, I opened a patreon account, and wrote this idea as transparently as possible, along with the (minimal) sums needed.
The idea is to have an open poll where every patron (supporting member) can name their porting request.
I would very much like to hear your suggestions, and other feedback.
