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.

- GitHub
- OpenPrompt
- His blog
