#2I made a one time contribution. I hope there are other folks who benefit from such self hosted software that will give him a financial hand.

Same - i dunno if i ever have a use for the project/software, but when he wrote that he doesn't want to "Jimmy Wales" people i just had to :D
Also: sometimes, life is just brutal - admitting you actually do need help (and even moreso in such a public way) itself has to be rewarded and commended!

#4Here's a one time donation. The project looks interesting, I'll give it a spin next time I need something like that. If it's embeddable as a library that's even better!

#5> also turns out that CV with mainly software development is not all that useful for lot of things outside software dev :-/
No shit sherlock!
> I really hate to Jimmy Wales people about this and it's rather embarrassing.

#6I was sponsoring this guy on github for some time. Then I wasn’t seeing any updates, for like a year or so and stopped sponsorship. Now using umami for analytics.

#7When I first added analytics to my website, I couldn't afford to pay for his then plan (There was a plan for opt-in pay for personal use and paid plan for commercial use. Or something of that sort IIRC). But when I move to a new gig, I wanted to pay for [name redacted] monthly plan but he stopped it in favour of github sponsors for some reason.
I highly recommend and wish he moved back to the old pricing where he was allowing people to use it for personal use but was charging for commercial use. And it was super flexible since if you couldn't afford it, he mentioned you can email. Many more would pay for sure.

#8Reminds me a lot of the boat I'm in - based on his CV it looks like he's self-taught and started around the same time I did. This market right now is killing us, and I've got to wonder if AI tools are filtering out self-taught devs more aggressively than they used to. In the worst case scenario, I have family I can move in with, but I don't know how to function in any other role after dedicating myself to this since childhood. Just going to keep refining skills and hope things turn around soon.

Thanks for making me laugh, I think that's worth a few bucks.
I donated every year to Wikipedia until I learned that (1) they have a huge chest of money, (2) their expenses could be much lower if they were not a 500-man SF company.
