- aborsy 1y agoYeah, I donate from time to time to various projects. But voluntary contributions will never solve this issue. I had in mind somehow requiring or rewarding everyone to pay a small amount. Like, anyone who uses software from a platform such as GitHub should pay a subscription fee for maintenance depending on usage. It could be small so that it doesn’t interfere with usage. Considering huge number of users, that could pay for maintainers.
- Ferret7446 1y agoWe already have that, it's called paid/proprietary software
- aborsy 1y agoThat’s mostly different. The point is, there are large number of users, if each user pays a small amount to the platform, they won’t notice it, yet it accumulates to a maintenance fee. Paying a maintenance fee makes sense, regardless of how you label it. The entirely free software has problems and may not be sustainable.
- skoskie 1y agoThat is not at all what they said. Your interpretation seems disingenuous.
- francislavoie 1y ago*Matt btw
- cyberax 1y agoOh wow. I just wrote a test that needed to parse CSV, and PapaParse was the perfect library for it. Sponsoring right away.
- mholt 1y agoJust saw that come in. Thank you!
