That's the sad reality for open source devs.
- cawlin 7y agoThey do have 15 open collective sponsors.
- dingus 7y agoThe tiers are $50/$100/$500 a month with a goal of $5000 per month to spend half of his free time on development. For a markdown editor? I see most Patreons with tiers around $3/$5/$20, and those are actually complex/ambitious.
- epicide 7y agoYeah, those are definitely some weird tiers. The beauty of these services is that I can toss a couple bucks a month to projects that I use. I don't want my name in credits, I don't want a dinner with the author, I don't want sneak preview access to whatever. I just want an easy way to support something that brings me value. Not even my total monthly contributions hit $50.
