Weird feeling about this. $5-$20 flat fee sounds like a lower price than what I'd imagine donations would bring. I imagine most who would donate would give at least $5-20, and then some would subscribe monthly. The dev team is obviously gonna get funding from Eron for now which would likely be higher today than what they get in donations.
Yeah I dunno. I sent them $50 as soon as I came across this amazing software.
I think FUTO is trying to make FOSS sustainable by unmistakably asking for money. I'm not sure how much more effective that will be than just asking for donations externally...
Me too, I subbed for monthly.
The one thing I can see FUTO can do is provide capital up front for developers to work which could be recouped over time as more users begin to use and pay for the software. That makes sense and in a competent, not neoliberal economy, the government might have a fund doing something like that. What I'm a bit worried about is that this might not be all Eron's up to. But again, we'll take his money when he gives it, so long as the work is open source. And we'll see where we end up in a few years. 😅
Germany has a fund like that, GNOME just recently got a grant of about 1M Euros to improve features and provide better accessibility
