We are a handful of friends who build things after hours and then give them away.
Free Shark Bytes started as a shared GitLab group so we would stop losing each other’s side projects. It is still mostly that. Someone gets annoyed by something badly enough to spend a weekend on it, and it ends up here. Nothing on this page is a product — no waitlist, no paid tier, nothing to upgrade to.
Singapore, mostly, working across timezones and usually at night. Replies take a day or two; we would rather be slow than curt.
Most of what we know came from reading somebody else’s source. Publishing ours is the cheapest way to pay that back — and code you know strangers can read is code you write more carefully.
Something annoys one of us enough to be worth a weekend. That is the whole process. It makes for a scattered catalogue and we have made our peace with that.
Honest labels. If something is alpha it says alpha, and if it is archived it says so, rather than pretending to be maintained. Better you know before you depend on it.
No onboarding, no contributor agreement, nobody keeping score. Everything we work on is in one place — open an issue, send a merge request, or just have a read.
Everything here is free and stays free. If you want to help it keep going, none of this is expected and all of it helps.
The cheapest thing you can do, and the one that actually grows a project. Link it, post it, mention it in a standup.
A precise bug report saves us more hours than a donation would buy. Screenshots and steps especially.
Domains, CI minutes and the odd Mac build machine. A one-off or a recurring donation both help.
Bug reports, questions, corrections, or a note that something we made was useful — all equally welcome.
If it is about a specific project, an issue on that repo beats an email — it stays where the next person will find it.
