Comments

Recently, I've been trying to figure out how to finance software and hardware that's actually useful to everyday people. The sentiment clearly resonated with HN:

but when I tried asking around how I could finance a useful OS app, I didn't get much of an answer. That's why I spent some days on research to understand how the FOSS projects that I enjoy and rely on are financing their operations. And how well that appears to work (or not).
