Have you tried advertising on your website? Something like adsense pays decent. How many pageviews does your site get per month? Is there a way you can build a viral mechanic into your product? Where people using it encourage others to use it? One way to leverage this might be to put functionality that is currently in react embedded in electron into a web app. One other thing - what about removing some features, or for new features, only putting them in a paid version? So people could try it, then when they like it plunk down $10/mo. Edit: To add a little inspiration... Let's say you removed a few key features from the open source ( free ) version. Yes, people could go back to previous commits but honestly no one will do that. Then you get rid of all the donate buttons and start selling the product for $10/mo. Let's say you can convert 50% of your 40% most highly engaged users. Even with no growth you'd be making about $4k/mo. Edit 2: What about charging for cloud sync for the data? You could have a very small amount for free, then after that they pay. You'd have huge margins, and could explain that this is how the project will survive. This is a common business model used by dropbox, gmail, notion, etc.
