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.
