It looks like a minimalistic Patreon (intro + tiers + posts for the sponsors). While I like the clean design, it misses the motivating parts:
- Listing the number of sponsors (oh, other people support them too!)
- Goals.
Personally, I don't count to get any suitable income. At the same time, I hoped to get motivation - people caring about my projects enough to pay $2.
I ended up getting hundreds of likes on FB + LinkedIn, I got first nothing (it was disheartening) and then 2 sponsors (well, I am grateful to them).
Meanwhile, a few times I got invited for an open-source project thanks to my other open source project (now I am at CQT, Singapore invited to develop an open-source Quantum Game 2.0)!
So my question is: even within open-source, is crowdsponsoring a viable model?
