Evan You (creator of VueJS) makes ~$16k a month on Patreon, plus an untold amount of fees for speaking at conferences. They also have an open collective which at the momement has a budget of just under $67k/year. It's hard to say what the money is actually used for, but at least some is used to pay for "VueJS maintenance" which probably goes towards paying Evan as well.
- dman 8y agoThanks for this information, it helps. The issue for me is that the target audience is probably < 10k people globally. The tool would act as a serious productivity multiplier for those 10k people (and those people are very well paid). In Evans case his creation is not only awesome, it also has a large target audience.
