I developed an aversion to "with love"-marketing. I've seen too many products come full circle from idealistic "ad-free-forever" "will-never-sell-your-data" "open-source-forever" "customer-first" student-times to selling out everything.

Just to be clear, I’ve been contributing to the open-source community since 2020, and I have no intention of misleading anyone. The use of the word ‘love’ isn’t about branding off another product-it’s simply a tool I personally needed, so I built it. If you’d like, you can also check my GitHub to see my work.

It should be “made for profit, we need to pay mortgage/loan as most of people”… this would be more honest :)

Buy-me-coffee / you can donate / payments in bitcoins accepted / pay as you use / etc.

But I am curious what could work so people wouldn’t be discouraged immediately?

Subscription (monthly/quarterly/annual) is annoying as well…

Adobe has started this wave, I remember it vividly.

Your entitled attitude in every comment thread here is utterly obnoxious.

“Sorry about that. Some people jump to conclusions about things they don’t fully understand. I’m just trying to build something useful and contribute to the community, but reactions like this can make it difficult

		You’re not, you’re trying to elevate your own profile while having to learn or do as little as possible along the way in order to accomplish that. It’s very transparent in your methodology for this “contribution” and the language you use to talk about it. This is the opposite of a contribution.
