I didn't know that there was a way to financially support iTerm2, an app I've used constantly for many years. iTerm2 is incredibly well executed and regularly updated. Turns out there are multiple ways to help, so I'm now a supporter.
- pvg 7y agoThat's cool but I'm not so sure pledge drives for every which bit of software really belong on HN.
- troydavis 7y ago> I'm not so sure pledge drives for every which bit of software really belong on HN. That's a completely fair opinion, but in that case, don't upvote it. As https://news.ycombinator.com/newsguidelines.html https://news.ycombinator.com/newsguidelines.html says, "Please don't complain that a submission is inappropriate." (I think iTerm2 is used by a far larger percentage of HN readers than most other free apps, especially those maintained by one individual, but I may be wrong about that. Maybe the meta-submission is this: if you spend a lot of time using a piece of free software - and enjoy it - and don't contribute code/docs/something to it, see whether there's a way to donate. Doesn't need to be iTerm2.)
- stbullard 7y agoI for one would love to see HN do a quarterly/yearly FOSS project donation drive. The more we can do to encourage the development, maintenance, and improvement of tools we all use and sometimes take for granted, the better!
- pvg 7y agoThat's a completely fair opinion I asked the mods and was told fundraisers are generally offtopic.
