Become a sponsor to Nate Smith
Hey, I'm Nate
I build open source tools that fill gaps in the self-hosted ecosystem.
ImmichSync — a native Windows system tray app that automatically syncs your photos and videos to your https://immich.app server. Immich is an incredible self-hosted Google Photos alternative with 84K+ GitHub stars, but no official desktop sync client. ImmichSync fixes that. Install it, point it at your server, and forget it exists. It handles folder watching, network shares, deduplication, bandwidth throttling, and auto-updates — all from a tiny Rust binary in your system tray.
BookStack MCP — a Model Context Protocol server that gives AI assistants full read/write access to your https://www.bookstackapp.com knowledge base. Search, create, and update pages, chapters, and books through natural conversation. Turns BookStack into persistent memory for AI workflows.
Why sponsor?
Everything I build is free and always will be. Sponsoring helps me dedicate more time to:
- New features (macOS/Linux support for ImmichSync, expanded MCP capabilities)
- Keeping up with upstream API changes
- Bug fixes and community support
Every bit of support means I can spend less time context-switching and more time shipping. Thanks for considering it.
