Note: This uses github sponsors, which is a microsoft owned middleman as @[email protected] mentioned. I heavily recommend https://liberapay.com/ as an alternative. The idea of the project is solid, though

I personally think this is a good idea. FOSS is amazing but it needs some funding in reality. What are your thoughts?

Q: What if I don’t want to pay the Maintenance Fee?
That’s fine. You can download the project’s source code and follow the Open Source license for the software.
Do not open issues. Do not ask questions. Do not download releases. Do not reference packages via a package manager. Do not use anything other than the source code released under the Open Source license.
Also, if you choose to not pay the Maintenance Fee, but find yourself returning to check on the status of issues or review answers to questions others ask, you are still using the project and need to pay the Maintenance Fee.
I disagree vehemently! The community adds value and is a form of contribution.
Seems like a Github sponsors promotion website. Why waste money by using a Microsoft owned middle man, when better projects like LiberaPay exist?
