What is timqian.com and who is Tim Qian?

Updated

timqian.com is the personal homepage of Tim Qian, a self-described full-stack JavaScript developer and open source activist. The site serves as a short introduction to him and a hub for the tools he has built and the places he can be found online.

Who Tim Qian is

According to the homepage, Tim Qian describes himself as:

  • A full-stack JS hacker — working across the JavaScript stack.
  • An open source activist — someone who actively builds and shares open source software.

The page is intentionally brief: it presents his identity and his work rather than a long biography.

Tools he created

The homepage highlights several projects he built, including:

Tool What it is (as presented)
OpenPrompt One of his created tools
chart.xkcd One of his created tools
star-history One of his created tools

The page notes these are "many more tools" beyond the ones named, so the list is a starting point rather than a complete catalog.

Where else to find him

The homepage points to several other places to follow or contact him:

  • GitHub
  • Twitter
  • OpenPrompt
  • His blog
