# Sponsor SigMap

SigMap is built and maintained by one developer, kept **zero-dependency**, offline, and free for everyone. If it saves your team context or API spend, sponsoring keeps it that way — and funds the benchmark CI and ongoing supply-chain hardening.

## Tiers

| Tier | | Reward |
|---|:--:|---|
| **Supporter** | $5/mo | Sponsor badge on your profile + my gratitude |
| **Backer** | $25/mo | Your name or handle in the SigMap README |
| **Team** | $100/mo | Your logo on the site + **priority on bug reports** you file |
| **Company** | $500/mo | Commercial-use acknowledgement, prominent logo, and a direct line for issues |

One-time: **$10** — a thank-you shoutout on X · **$50** — credited in the next release notes.

## Where your sponsorship goes

Every dollar is spent on keeping SigMap free, fast, and independent — no salaries, no overhead:

- 🧪 **More benchmarking** — CI compute to run the token / retrieval / quality / task matrix across 21 real repos on every release, so the numbers stay honest and reproducible
- 🌐 **Domain & docs hosting** — registering and renewing `sigmap.io` for the documentation site
- 🛠️ **Support & maintenance** — time to triage issues, review PRs, answer questions, and ship releases
- 🔒 **Supply-chain hardening** — keeping the package zero-dependency, shell-free, and audited
- 🌍 **New languages & IDE support** — expanding extractors and editor integrations

**Goal:** **$200/mo** covers the benchmark CI and the `sigmap.io` domain, and frees up real maintenance time. Anything beyond goes straight into new features.

## Can only spare a little? That's perfect 💜

If SigMap has helped you, **any amount helps** — even **$1/month**. No tier is too small, and you don't need a reason beyond *"it was useful."* And if you can't sponsor right now, that's completely fine — a ⭐ on the repo or sharing it with a teammate helps just as much.

## About the maintainer

SigMap is built and maintained by **[Manoj Mallick](https://github.com/manojmallick)** — solo, in the open, and kept free for everyone. The goal is simple: make AI coding assistants answer from the *right* files instead of guessing, with **zero dependencies**, fully offline, and no telemetry. Sponsorship funds the reproducible benchmark CI, ongoing supply-chain hardening, and new language/IDE support — and keeps the project independent. 💜
