I'd love to kick some money his way, but he only has two tiers: $20/mo and $100/mo. I think he could get a lot more donations if he started with a $5/mo tier.

I think he'd also do well to make a "this is why you should use bcachefs of ext4" sort of post to bring awareness to the project and its benefits.

Isn't that what the website is for?

Also those type of blog posts tend to rub people the wrong way when they are written by the creator. Apparently other people see them as a call-out post more that something informative.

The sidebar on his Patreon page says

you can actually donate any amount you want per month.

On this page, you can scroll down to the bottom, and there is an option “Or choose your own price” with a “Make custom pledge” button.
