You know GitHub sponsors is a broken experience when you find out GitHub only supports 7 people on their own platform https://github.com/github companies really need to fund their dependency tree…

yeah but when i talk to artists, they tell me they love the process of creating music. they don't have the money or interest for procurement, warehousing or customer support. They just want feedback on their new beat...

Very valid point regarding the value. We've been training our own LLAMA model for this app https://www.instagram.com/reel/CwgtFORyCuu/ & we ask ourselves the value questions every day.... We love using th

Yes it's helped me handle rejections (starting from 2017 https://drive.google.com/file/d/1kNN6O_C8-9apBDRkl4BsfzcQfah... ). We're still working on the same project just rebranded (kuky.com) iterating on

Big platforms are slowly decaying but alternatives are also slowly getting traction with new business models. This is an example that's slowly growing in the lofi-music community https://www.instagram.com/reel/CtR9

Other platforms will take market share from Reddit that actually recognises & rewards creators instead of giving them pointless badges https://youtube.com/shorts/-h4Lz9xKgnI?feature=share

FaceTime on Apple Vision Pro makes it easy to connect and collaborate. It's just a shame that you can't see their face while wearing apple-vision.

We are working to open source our project & we also have an api integration solution for those who prefer to only share their package files.

We don’t intentionally block anyone but we’re looking to see what could be the problem. Thanks for letting us know.

great observation & questions, we will update that on our FAQ shortly. If users aren't registered then we can't verify who's project admin & no funds will be allocated to them from the sponsors pool. Only when an admi
