François Best

franky47
Grenoble, France

I'm a full-stack developer from France, I've been building open-source software for the last 12 years, and I plan on doing this full-time in 2021 onwards.

I write TypeScript libraries for privacy-first, secure and accessible web apps, and publish what I learn on my blog.

My core values and beliefs are:

  • Transparency : build in the open, with open-source tech, for the open-source community
  • Privacy : nobody should benefit from selling personal data
  • The web should remain open : nobody should own or monopolize it, it belongs to us all

In 2021, my most successful project, the Arduino MIDI Library, reached 1k+ stars and generated a lot of engagement: people are constantly asking me for advice on how to build synths, MIDI controllers and other musical instruments. I decided to open the project to external maintainers to give me a hand, and the collaboration has been a great success.

This amount would cover the costs of servers for various open-source projects I run. The most recent to date is Chiffre.io, an end-to-end encrypted web analytics SaaS.
