It is crucial for us to support projects we like, with code or with money.

I supported:

On Patreon:

On Liberapay:

It is very important to support especially unknown projects. But big projects also require lots of work, so...

Its not important how much you give, but there are many many many people we depend on daily, and nowhere we dont pay for it, except in FOSS.

This makes no sense and is very difficult to sustain, as even in "pay what you can" situations it would always be easy and clear who needs money and how you can donate.

Share the projects or people you support in the comments!

As much as I would prefer to donate by bank transfer, Bitcoin or something like that to avoid additional fees, the LiberaPay model is simply best working for me.

I think of a sum wanted to spend on donations this month. I choose projects I mostly want to grow or stay in share, divide it and click like "you, you, you, you and you", sometimes going even above my plan.

Love how the sum can be spread out for more things, instead of one big paymant like on Pateon.
