    This is why I don’t contribute. Kudos to you for doing so, but I literally couldn’t handle that on a passion project. I get enough of that in my day job

    If I could make a living off my passion projects I would love that and deal with what it entails, but dealing with that in my free time sounds like a nightmare.

    There’s got to be a better way… But I appreciate you and hope you all the best from the bottom of my heart

      Well, I happen to be lucky enough that this particular project is actually developed as part of my dayjob. And the other projects, if I’m honest, are just projects I developed to scratch my own itch and then uploaded onto Codeberg with a libre license. I haven’t really announced them anywhere, except to a few colleagues, so I basically never get suggestions there.

      But yeah, this project being part of my dayjob kind of makes it even more clear-cut that I’m not going to put in extra time to develop features that no one currently sponsors…
