Nearly every open source package that sees use will be added to free-as-in-beer repositories. I don't see how this gets any uptake.

- greggirwin 7y agoIgnore Scarf's success for a moment, and focus on it's goal. Do you think FOSS developers should be compensated for their work? If so, how do we make that happen?
- cheez 7y agoI think Patreon-esque approaches + consulting is doing a decent job.
- aviaviavi 7y agoI actually disagree with this. Patreon doesn't target contributions from companies, only other indie developers for the most part. I've seen massive OSS projects that only get a very small amount of donations, so it's not a great solution for most developers.
