Become a sponsor to Zach Lagden
I'm Zach — 18, based in the UK. I build things across the stack and run two companies.
Most of my work is closed-source at DigiGrow, but the open-source side speaks for itself:
- Pi-hole-Optimized-Blocklists — 1.6M+ domains, updated weekly. 183 stars.
- Pi-hole-Blocklist-Optimizer — Fast single-binary tool for blocklist management. Written in Rust.
- Spotify-Listening-Insights — Privacy export analysis with rich terminal output.
- Zachs-Lists — Self-hosted blocklist aggregator with a Rust-powered engine.
- rickbot — Framework for building complex Discord bots fast.
Sponsorship goes straight to development — cloud costs, infrastructure, and more time on the repos. No fluff.
Hitting $100/month will let me spend 8-10 hours weekly on open-source: regular updates to popular tools (e.g., Pi-hole blocklists used by hundreds), new features for rickbot and Face-Detection-API, and growing the Lagden Development collective with more public projects on lagden.dev. Your support directly funds development and keeps everything free for everyone. Thank you for helping make this sustainable! ❤️
