Become a sponsor to Chris Shank

Hi there! πŸ˜„ My name is Chris Shank. I'm exploring how we create new tools and mediums to augment how we think, learn, and create! Right now I am focusing on how web developers can leverage visual programming with state machines and the actor model to build more robust, performant, and maintainable web applications.

I currently split my open source time between a couple of

  • Building out the StateML language and tooling.
  • Teaching and mentoring others about state machines and the actor model!
  • Exploring new architectures for web applications through
    • My writings called "The collapsing layers of web applications".
    • Rethinking client-side routing with my library called xrouter.
    • Developing libraries that it easier to move behavior off the main thread and into web workers.
