Hmm, the monthly fees are simply to pay for the costs of Twilio. The project will be completely Open Sourced at the end, if I end up raising the money.
I'm also trying to raise money to get this into the hands of people in the developing world as quickly as possible. Each donation level pays my Twilio costs for a certain number of people.
My goal is 10,000 people in developing countries using my beta within 3 months.
Thanks for the encouragement, though!
- evoxed 15y agoAhh, okay. I dropped off a modest donation so I can see the updates. Small note: at first I wasn't sure if by 'developing world' you meant developing nations or the world of programmers and developers... ;) Good luck!
- burningion 15y agoLol, that's pretty bad with the clarity of my message. Donations sponsor people in developing countries to get access, and pays for the text message fees from Twilio. Looking to specifically target the entrepreneurs in the "informal economy" explained here: http://www.npr.org/2011/10/26/141503411/the-informal-economy-driving-world-business http://www.npr.org/2011/10/26/141503411/the-informal-economy... I definitely need to improve my message and the clarity behind it. Thanks for your support, appreciate it 100%!
