Become a sponsor to Michael Wu

I build practical open-source tools for travel and everyday workflows.

I’ve spent my career building software across Silicon Valley and Asia, from collaboration tools at Dropbox to payments infrastructure at Stripe Japan. These days, I’m especially interested in small, sharp tools that make real-world planning easier: maps, saved places, flight search, calendars, home coordination, and personal operations.

A lot of my open-source work starts with a workflow I wish existed. Sometimes that becomes a browser extension, sometimes a map or places tool, sometimes a small utility for coordinating daily life. The common thread is software that makes messy information easier to organize, inspect, and act on.

Sponsorship helps me keep these projects maintained, documented, and useful. It supports the unglamorous parts of open source: fixing edge cases, improving data handling, keeping extensions compatible, and building new experiments in public.

If you use my work or want more practical, user-owned tools for travel and everyday life, sponsorship is a direct way to support it.
