Hi everyone 👋

I’m the creator of an open-source project: https://zoomment.com/

The project already has users and I’m actively maintaining and improving it. I really enjoy working on it and would love to invest much more time into development.

The challenge is that I also need to earn money to make that possible.

I’m curious if anyone here has experience turning an open-source project into something sustainable financially.
What models worked for you? (donations, hosted version, paid features, consulting, sponsorships, etc.)

Any advice, examples, or suggestions would be really appreciated 🙏

It's a physics-based orbital Tower Defense game I built completely from scratch using React and a custom HTML5 Canvas 144Hz physics loop. It starts with you dragging a single rock, and ends in absolute screen-shaking, GPU-melting chaos.

The demo is totally free. Go try and break my math!

@badrihippo modern frameworks like React, Vue, and Van.js are all very similar, but I have not seen a consistent name for this family of frameworks. I have heard it called “The Elm Architecture,” because they are loosely based on how the Elm programming language originally did GUI programming in the browser. I have also heard it called the Model-View-Update paradigm. But most people just call it “React-like” or “Reactive Programming” because they are all similar to the very popular “React.js” framework.

Note that this should not be confused with Functional Reactive Programming (FRP), although the two are not completely different. As I understand it, React-like GUIs and FRP can both be implemented on top of a more powerful and more general computation model called “propagators” (here is the PDF of the original Propagators paper).

@dthompson wrote a really good blog post about FRP, propagators, and React-like frameworks.

I hope that helps, but I am not as well-versed in the theory of this stuff as I should be.

Oh, and I should say, before React-like took over the world wide web, GUI programming was mostly intertwined with Object Oriented Programming and design, so a good place to start might be to read up on Smalltalk OOP and GUI design.
