# One page for everything you maintain

> Show every open source project you maintain on one page, with status, tags and a link to sponsor you. Faster to keep current than a personal site.

Libraries, CLIs, frameworks and the side project with three stars. Each with a status, tags and a clear way to support your work.

## Beyond the pinned repos

GitHub lets you pin six repositories. Most maintainers have more than that, plus docs sites, a blog, talks and the occasional hosted product. makerhandle gives each one a card with a description, tags like `Rust`, `TypeScript` or `CLI`, and a link to the repo or docs.

The **Terminal** template renders your page as a shell session: `whoami`, `cat about.md`, `ls projects/`. It is a small joke that developers get immediately. See [the Terminal template](https://makerhandle.com/features/terminal-template).

## Be clear about maintenance

Open source has a status problem. People open issues on projects you stopped maintaining years ago. Give each project an honest status:

- **Active**: maintained, PRs welcome
- **Building**: early, expect breaking changes
- **On hold**: paused, no promises
- **Discontinued**: archived, use a fork
- **Acquired**: handed to a foundation or company

It saves you a few "is this dead?" issues and helps users choose wisely.

## Make support easy to find

Add your GitHub Sponsors, Open Collective or a paid support offer as a project, so it sits right next to the work it funds. Analytics show how many visitors click it, from where.

If you run a paid hosted version or support plan through Stripe, connect a read-only key and show verified revenue. It is optional, and plenty of maintainers leave it off.

## Cheap enough to forget about

Free covers five projects. **Pro is $20 a year** for unlimited projects, all templates and a custom domain like oss.yourname.dev with automatic SSL. No build step, no CI, nothing to update when a dependency changes. See [makerhandle for developers](https://makerhandle.com/for/developers).
