Anyone know how Lockdown is funded? The app is free and open source so how are they able to make money and operate?
Someone on HN wrote that they always look at how a company is funded before engaging with them so they know where their incentives are. I thought that's a pretty good idea and am trying to apply the same idea here.
I can find the backstory but I don't know how the company is able to operate and continue developing.
