We’ve all seen the blue-and-yellow #StandWithUkraine ribbons on various sites. While they look nice, I wanted something more actionable.

I created a small script that displays links to random relevant charities based on the visitor's language, pointing to localized versions whenever available. It also tracks seen charities so visitors never see the same one twice (off by default, yay to GDPR). Highly tuneable.

I like projects with a small scope and a single primary metric (CTR in this case), every feature or fix feels more impactful and challenging.

Project: Support Ukraine Widget

I needed some way to route support to the cause I am passionated about and existing widgets and banners didn't fit my preferences, so I made my own.

I am a big fan of textlint, correct quotes, long dashes, and seeing "0 errors" in my logs.

And I noticed how often Western media mess up correct transliterations of Ukrainian identifiers, using russian-to-English transliterations instead of proper Ukrainian-to-English ones.

There is a nice web app with bots tackling this topic — check it out. I used their vocabulary to make a ruleset for Textlint — pretty sure they are not interested in doing it themselves.

Published as my first npm package. Nothing complex or particularly cool — just wanted to experience npm from the other side.

Excited to become another supply chain attack vector in the future!

I stumbled upon on SpellingUkraine project and as an avid user of textlint, decided to implement the same logic as a textlint rule.
