- satvikpendem 9mo agoMeanwhile Evan You of Vue JS was making something like 200k just from Patreon before starting void(0) which is venture backed, it's all a marketing problem because I don't think anyone knew their GitHub sponsors even existed, people just don't seem to use it in general. I don't know why Tailwind needed anyone more than Adam, I understand that more people makes the work go faster such as for their Rust compiler but then you run into money problems like this.
- ceejayoz 9mo agoThey have off-GH sponsorship that's much more widely subscribed. https://tailwindcss.com/sponsor https://tailwindcss.com/sponsor
- jonas21 9mo agoYeah, it's apparently pulling in over $800K in annual revenue [1]. EDIT: Doing the math on the sponsor list, it's probably around $1M in ARR now. [1] https://petersuhm.com/posts/2025/ https://petersuhm.com/posts/2025/
- eudamoniac 9mo agoI'm sorry but it simply does not cost a million dollars to maintain Tailwind, a CSS library that has no compelling reason to ever change at this point.
