About Nikhil Rajput
building open-source tools developers use every day π
Hey! π I'm Nikhil, a software engineer from India. I build and maintain open-source packages that developers download more than 50,000 times a month, and every one of them is free and MIT-licensed.
What I maintain:
β flutter_carousel_widget - a customisable carousel for Flutter. 41,000+ downloads a month and a perfect 160/160 score on pub.dev.
β± get_time_ago - human-readable timestamps in 21 languages. 9,000+ downloads a month.
π§ͺ mcp-vitest - Vitest-native testing for Model Context Protocol servers.
π§΅ ai-sdk-threads - chat and message persistence for the Vercel AI SDK.
βοΈ cloudinary - the Cloudinary API for Dart and Flutter.
All of it is maintained in evenings and weekends around a full-time job.
What your support pays for:
- Security and dependency updates, so your builds keep working
- Bug fixes and replies to issues, instead of a growing backlog
- Hosting for the documentation sites and the CI that keeps releases honest
- Time to write the docs and examples people keep asking for
If one of these packages saved you an afternoon, a coffee is a fair trade. Each one buys back an hour I wouldn't otherwise have. β
