Oh yeah, please make it donorware so that I can then give you $5 every ten years and say "I donate to open source projects I like". Haha.
- andersmurphy 1y agoIt's wild this comment is getting downvotes.
- crote 1y agoProbably because there's a huge chasm between "open source developers shouldn't starve" and "any form of monetization, no matter how hostile to the community, is completely acceptable".
- renewiltord 1y agoYeah, and apparently completely optional features that are entirely new are "hostile to the community". LOL Hey, OSS dev, would you mind putting only features no one would ever want behind a paywall? No no, I know you could put convenience ones that could be replaced with a one-liner behind a paywall and no one would be hurt but that would be hostile to the community. Ideally, exactly zero people should want the thing you make a pro feature.
- andersmurphy 1y agoThe whole OSS support model people are suggested Datastar adopt is bad as it actively encourages you to write less good software so you can offer paid support.
