Sponsor Hanakai

Help us build a diverse future for Ruby.

Sponsor on Open Collective Sponsor on GitHub

For more than a decade, Hanami, Dry and Rom have offered Ruby developers something different: tools built around clarity, flexibility, and a genuine belief that there’s more than one good way to build an app.

This year we’ve brought all three together under Hanakai, a unified project with a shared community and future.

Now comes the part where we make it last.

Sustaining Hanakai means steady, ongoing work: releasing gems, improving your developer experience, and growing our community. This needs me to show up consistently, over the long run. And beyond that, we want more of our maintainers to get the recognition and compensation they deserve.

Ruby is a better place when there are real alternatives to reach for. If you believe this – or if Dry, Rom or Hanami are already doing important work somewhere in your stack — sponsorship is how you grow Hanakai and Ruby’s diversity along with it.

Hear from our sponsors

“Ruby has a problem: it’s mostly a monoculture around Rails. Merb and Sinatra provided valuable app framework options in the past. I believe we need new options for the future.”

Mike Perham

Sidekiq

“In Ruby diversity is our greatest strength, whether that be the people, the ideas, or the technologies we use. Ruby is not just one framework, nor is it just one person, it is a community of passionate people pushing the boundaries of what’s possible not just as individuals, but as a collective. I am happy to continue to fund efforts building upon that vision of the future.”

Brandon Weaver

“Honeybadger has been monitoring Ruby apps since 2012, and we’ve always believed in giving back to the open source community that made our business possible. We’re proud to sponsor a framework and team that is working to make Ruby better for everyone. Hanami is leading the way.”

Joshua Wood

Honeybadger

“At FastRuby we believe in the value of diverse and inclusive communities. With our yearly contribution to Hanami we are investing in a framework that brings positive change to our beloved Ruby ecosystem. We envision a future where projects like Hanami, Roda, Sinatra, Cuba, and Padrino push the boundaries of what’s possible in Ruby.”

Ernesto Tagwerker

“At AppSignal, we believe in sustainable open-source software and are happy to contribute to Hanami’s development by enabling others to continue the great work they do. In turn, this allows us to keep providing APM services that smoothly integrate with Hanami. Everybody wins.”
