How are you monetizing your project if you're an #opensource #foss maintainer? Something that's making money, even if it's a little.

Do comment if you're making money through other means or if you haven't made any money but would like to.

I appreciate the boosts & will follow 🙏

@viktor Why should I monetize my projects? The missing question

Viktor Nagornyy

@voxpelli Many developers don't want to monetize their projects or simply don't care. But there are developers who want to earn income (part-time or full-time) working on something they've built and enjoy working on. Lots of layoffs in tech, too. It's a personal choice. I'm curious what's working for those that did decide to monetize.
