Support
The book is free. The framework always was.
There is nothing to buy here and nothing to fill in. If Iris saves you time, this is where you can pay some of it back.
The book is a direct download
All 437 pages of it, fifth edition, covering 14.0.0: take it. No account, no address, no payment, no wait.
Why sponsor, then
Iris is one person's work with contributions from many others, and it has been maintained continuously since 2016. That is 31 middleware packages, a full authentication stack, a book, and a decade of answering questions from people who were not paying for the privilege.
Sponsorship pays for the part nobody sees: the maintenance, the security fixes, and the time to keep the documentation true.
How
- GitHub Sponsors, monthly or one-off. This is the only channel, and it is the one the project can actually account for.
- Not in a position to sponsor? Star the repository, answer a question in Discussions, or send a pull request. All three are worth more than they look.
Who receives it
Gerasimos Maropoulos, who wrote the framework and the book. Everyone who has sponsored so far is listed on the sponsors page, without amounts.
