I open-source almost everything I can, and I try to reply to everyone needing help using these projects. Obviously, this takes time. You can integrate and use these projects in your applications for free! You can even change the source code and redistribute (even resell it).
However, if you get some profit from this or just want to encourage me to continue creating stuff, there are few ways you can do it:
Starring and sharing the projects you like :rocket:
—I love books! I will remember you after years if you buy me one. :grin: :book:
—You can make one-time donations via PayPal. I'll probably buy a
coffee tea. :tea:
—Set up a recurring monthly donation and you will get interesting news about what I'm doing (things that I don't share with everyone).
Bitcoin—You can send me bitcoins at this address (or scanning the code below): 1P9BRsmazNQcuyTxEqveUsnf5CERdq35V6

Thanks! :heart:
If you are using this library in one of your projects, add it in this list. :sparkles:
parse-url—An advanced url parser supporting git urls too.The url-parse package is a robust URL parser that works in both Node.js and the browser. It provides similar functionality to parse-path but is more focused on URLs rather than file paths. It offers additional features like URL normalization and query string parsing.
The path-parse package is a simple utility for parsing file paths into their components. It is similar to parse-path but is more focused on file paths rather than URLs. It provides a straightforward way to access different parts of a file path.
The whatwg-url package is a full implementation of the WHATWG URL Standard. It provides comprehensive URL parsing and manipulation capabilities, making it more feature-rich compared to parse-path. However, it is more complex and may be overkill for simple use cases.
