True, it’s a good percentage, and probably better than most free software. That said, given the communities the self hosted apps support, their excitement for the products, and for some the essential nature of some of these apps, it would be nice to see the yes/no number more 50/50 at least.
I'm more interested in dollar amounts. Are people sending $5 every now and then, or is there more consistent funding?
I have subscribed to a couple projects on github (the recurring payment thing) and purchased the optional immich license. I think the immich license is a great model, and more projects should do it.
Agreed. Grayjay has something similar, though it's not actually FOSS (it's source-available though). I'm happy to pay for software, but donating somehow has a different feel to it and doesn't feel as "necessary." So yes, an optional license fee would be awesome for more projects and could encourage more people to actually pay.
I love that it doesn't unlock any features, but it does prominently display in the app as "activated" or whatever. It feels like "yeah, I have paid my portion, I am now entitled to use this forever guilt-free"
That's still better than nothing I guess
Sure, but it doesn't really pay the bills.
I don't wanna ask if and how much individuals contributed to the ones that host their instances ;)
