Elio Struyf

Hi, I’m Elio—a passionate engineering lead, tech enthusiast, and public speaker focused on driving innovation and sharing knowledge. Over the years, I’ve created tools and services that have had a meaningful impact on the developer community.

One of my notable projects is Visitor Badge, a simple yet impactful service for generating visitor badges for GitHub profiles, READMEs, or websites. With over 75 million badges created and 3 million unique designs, it provides an easy way to visualize your web traffic. The service costs approximately €90 per month to run, and your sponsorship helps keep it alive and evolving.

I’m also the creator of Front Matter CMS, a headless CMS built right into Visual Studio Code. Designed to simplify content management, it’s a tool that empowers developers to work more efficiently and effectively.

Another tool I’m proud of is Demo Time, a Visual Studio Code extension that makes live coding demos easier and stress-free. It helps presenters seamlessly insert code, highlight important sections, and run commands, ensuring a smooth and professional demo experience.

Your support allows me to continue improving these services, cover operational costs, and dedicate time to building new tools that benefit the community. By becoming a sponsor, you’re not just supporting my work—you’re contributing to the advancement of open-source projects that empower developers worldwide.

Thank you for considering sponsoring my projects. Together, we can drive innovation and make a lasting impact on the developer community.
