Who I am?
Hi, I'm Gilles Vauvarin the founder of The whale. French, I live in Montreal, Canada but come back every summer in France in a little town called Thonon les bains.
I began my career in the world wide web as front-end developer then over the missions I became a fullstack web developer and solopreneur.
Today, I work part-time for several customers around the world as web developer specialized on CMS Kirby. I spend the rest of the week thinking about new project and building side project like The whale.
I started my career as web developer in 1996. At that time I spent my time chatting on IRC, Netscape was my main browser and I was proud to have a Caramail email address.
But things has changed since that time! Internet has grown exponentially and the amount of information and technology available has become impressive.
But don't panic, The whale is here to help you find the nugget that will get your project off the ground ;-)
The Whale
thewhale.cc is a hand-curated platform for tools and resources dedicated to web developers. The Whale was born from my desire to publicly share my curated technology finds on a website, rather than keeping them hidden away in my browser bookmarks. Most of the resources I share are either free, open source, or offer a freemium plan.
Its Mission
My goal is to save you time by helping you find resources that inspire, simplify your projects, and enhance your toolkit.
It's also about giving more visibility to lesser-known or emerging projects:
If you're in web development and would like to increase the visibility of your side project or a favorite open-source tool, feel free to submit your project details for publication on The Whale. It's free if your project is non-commercial.
If you're a business or an entrepreneur looking to support The Whale and gain exposure for your service or product, consider becoming a partner through my sponsorship program. As a sponsor, you'll have unique visibility to a dedicated audience of passionate web developers seeking high-quality solutions.
Don’t hesitate to reach out to learn more about our partnership options or to suggest tools you'd like to share with our community.
Good technology watch!
Gilles
