Hi open source!
As a relativaly small open source project (2k stars) we are struggling to get more sponsors. It is critical that we do find sponsors because the costs associated with the project is increasing as the projects gain momentum. We also hope to cover certain specific needs with sponsors. We are using only github sponsors for now.
Anyway, here is what we tried to increase the number of sponsors:
- Working on improving the sponsor page ()
- Communicate about sponsors on each release ()
- Communicate about sponsors on our readme ()
- Suggest appreciative user to sponsors us (on issues and such)
One thing we have not yet tried is to add more ways to sponsor, like patreon and such. We are considering it.
We do not want to add incentive to sponsor in the code source.
Do you sponsor projects on github ? What made you decide to sponsor a project ? How could we gently suggests our users to sponsor us ? Am I missing something important that other projects have ?
