Become a sponsor to Shin Yoshiaki

Hi, I'm Yoshiaki 👋

I'm a software engineer and open-source maintainer based in Japan.

I created and maintain werift, a WebRTC implementation written in TypeScript for Node.js. I also work on related open-source projects covering SFUs, media recording, RTP/RTCP processing, browser interoperability, and real-time communication infrastructure.

My goal is to make WebRTC easier to use from the Node.js and TypeScript ecosystem, without requiring native dependencies or complex development environments.

Why sponsorship matters

Maintaining a WebRTC implementation requires ongoing work beyond adding new features. This includes:

Keeping compatibility with Chrome, Firefox, Safari, Pion, aiortc, and other WebRTC implementations
Investigating protocol-level and interoperability issues
Maintaining ICE, DTLS, SCTP, SRTP, RTP, RTCP, and SDP implementations
Responding to bug reports and reviewing contributions
Improving documentation, examples, and automated tests
Addressing security issues and dependency updates
Maintaining CI and interoperability testing environments

Your sponsorship gives me more time to maintain these projects, improve their reliability, and support the developers and companies that depend on them.

How sponsorship funds will be used

Sponsorship funds will primarily support:

Development and maintenance time
Security improvements and audits
Browser and WebRTC implementation interoperability testing
CI, hosting, and test infrastructure costs
Documentation and practical examples
Faster investigation of bugs and compatibility problems

Whether you are an individual developer using werift for a personal project or a company using it in production, your support helps keep the project sustainable and actively maintained.

Thank you for supporting open-source WebRTC development! 🙏
