Transparency Statement
I believe in full transparency with my readers. This page discloses how I handle partnerships, sponsored content, and affiliate relationships on rabinarayanpatra.com.
Sponsored Content
From time to time, I may publish sponsored blog posts, product reviews, or newsletter features in partnership with companies and tools I believe are genuinely useful to developers. When content is sponsored:
- It will be clearly labeled as "Sponsored" or "In partnership with [Company]" at the top of the post
- All opinions expressed remain my own honest assessment
- I only accept sponsorships for products and services I would personally use or recommend
- Sponsors do not have editorial control over the content
Affiliate Links
Some posts may contain affiliate links. If you click on an affiliate link and make a purchase, I may receive a small commission at no additional cost to you. Affiliate relationships never influence my recommendations — I only link to products I have used or thoroughly evaluated.
Brand Collaborations
I offer the following collaboration opportunities for brands:
- Sponsored blog posts — technical deep-dives featuring a product or service
- Product reviews — honest, hands-on reviews of developer tools
- Newsletter sponsorships — featured mentions in my email newsletter
All sponsored content undergoes the same editorial standards as my regular writing. I reserve the right to decline any partnership that does not align with my audience's interests or my values.
Editorial Independence
The vast majority of content on this site is written independently and without compensation. Technical tutorials, code snippets, system design guides, and personal essays are published purely to share knowledge and document what I learn. No company or individual has paid for or influenced the content of these posts.
Open Source
My open-source projects (such as sanitizer-lib) are developed independently and are not sponsored unless explicitly stated in the project's README.
