This sounds too good to be true. Who's funding this project?

Hi, I made sr.ht. The users are funding it! There's some information about this here: https://man.sr.ht/billing-faq.md

What's the pricing structure going to be, ie. how much should I expect to pay for hosting a dozen of small git repos? I can't access the billing page without an account.

Thanks for your work for the FLOSS community, btw. I've got one machine running Sway and I might start using sr.ht.

I adore the aesthetic! Absolutely smooth web design; top notch work Drew. Just registered and hope to familiarize myself with everything. This is one of the few "Show HN" projects I've felt compelled to actually try. Heck, I'm so charmed by it I want to contribute. What a lovely Thursday morning discovery.

Thank you for your kind words! I'm happy that you like it.

You can choose any of $2/mo, $5/mo, or $10/mo, depending on your financial situation and investment in sr.ht. All plans have access to all features. Here's a screenshot of the billing page:

I'll capture the information here in the billing FAQ and make it easier to get to the billing FAQ without signing up later tonight.

Thanks for using sway :)

Thanks, I also found this information in the site: https://lists.sr.ht/~sircmpwn/sr.ht-discuss/%3C2018071822544...

It seems a fresh revenue model after so much the-user-is-the-product models. Here's is to your success!

> On top of that, sr.ht is one of the most lightweight websites on the internet, with the average page weighing less than 10 KiB, with no tracking and no JavaScript

At the age of Spectre/Meltdown, it is no longer safe to leave JavaScript enabled, so thank you for this.
