Hello everyone! In July and August 2025, we raised the fund of $1,991.77, thanks to our awesome sponsors! ———
These two months, we have:
Redistributed $250 to each of the following maintainers:
- Ilya Liao (@ilyaliao) - Ilya is helping with maintaining and improving VueUse a lot and also the packages around the unplugin ecosystem.
- Robin (@OrbisK) - Robin has also contributed a lot to VueUse's maintenance. Recently, he has been building the new VueUse Playground to help the community better understand VueUse's functionalities and provide reproductions.
- Azat S. (@azat-io) - Azat is the creator behind popular ESLint plugin eslint‑plugin‑perfectionist, which brings intelligent sorting for imports, objects, enums, JSX props, and more. If you are using @antfu/eslint-config, you are already benefiting from his work. There is also an interesting ESLint plugin eslint-plugin-de-morgan that you might want to check out.
- Eduardo San Martin Morote (@posva) - Eduardo has been maintaining Vue Router for years, in addition to Pinia, not to mention how much he has contributed to the Vue community. The universal unplugin-vue-router also powered Nuxt's file-based routing. Check also pinia-colada, which is a novel smart data fetching layer that you might benefit from.
Recurringsponsorship for $50/month to the following 3 projects:
esm.sh - esm.sh is a no-build content delivery network (CDN) for modern web development. It does automatic format conversion and TypeScript transpiling to serve almost any npm packages to CDN with modern ESM format. We heavily rely on it for our playgrounds and some dynamic parts of our open-source apps. Meanwhile, they are also working on transpiling for Vue and Svelte SFC, meaning you will soon be able to ship and consume SFC without any build setup!
pnpm - pnpm is a fast, disk space-efficient package manager. It also offers first-class support of monorepo, and a bunch of handy integrations around it. At this moment, all our projects are using pnpm and have benefited a lot from the time and disk space saved.
Iconify: Iconify is an open-source project that provides the infrastructure for almost all open-source icon sets (~200,000 icons available at this moment). The universal icon solutions allow you to avoid icon set vendor-lockin and swap to different icons and styles easily by changing the icon ids. If you are using UnoCSS Icons, unplugin-icons, Nuxt Icon, Icônes, etc, you are already depending on it.
As a side note, if you would also want to know which packages you are depending on in your projects, and find those who need your support, I recently built a tool node-modules-inspector to visualize your node_modules, and see your dependencies. It's one command line away, give it a try!

At the end of every month (or every other month), we will post an announcement to show you how we distribute the funds. It might also be interesting to introduce you to some projects you are depending on but weren't aware of. You can also find the previous announcement here.
Thank you for your support and for reading this post. If you are interested in joining the force to support our ecosystem, sponsor the fund, and we will manage the redistribution like this to help the ecosystem be sustainable in the long run. If you find someone's work is important to you, I'd encourage you to sponsor them directly. Thank you 💖 Cheers!
