Consider supporting Henry Zhu, the maintainer of Babel. Henry decided to dedicate himself 100% to open-source earlier this year and is one of the main reasons Babel is such an indispensable (albeit invisible) tool. Henry welcomes contributions at https://www.patreon.com/henryzhu/memberships

Babel has an open collective: https://opencollective.com/babel

Babel has some crazy throughput going through it to drive a massive percentage of the modern web. Wild to see how low the funding is.

seriously. its insane that some startups are raising VC money that 100% would not be able to exist without Babel being maintained. Some of that money should go to Babel but won't. How do we fix this so that Henry doesnt have to keep begging? It's really broken.
