Marcial 🇨🇷🇻🇪@kde I’d love to adopt Krita, since it’s a piece of software that already almost exists in the mainstream, but still has the unfortunate reputation of being buggy/cluttered; however, I’m not seeing it in the list of apps. Will some of the money from the fundraiser be given to Krita to help the maintainers polish it up some next year? They don’t get much in monthly donations, but I also don’t see them self-advertising that much like what KDE proper does.
Krita runs their own fundraiserx from their own foundation. You can donate directly to them bypassing KDE at:

As for social media, you can keep up with their news by following:
Although we often post about Krita here too.
* With Haruna you can view videos, films and shows. Especially good for binging series thanks to its automatic playlist feature!
* Get from point A to point B thanks to Itinerary, a complete travel-planning app
Thib@kde This is awesome news!
Do you know if any of that money might be spent on hiring some contracted UX/UI designers? From the sounds of the usual blogs, it seems that the developers also play the role of designer most of the time, and having a dedicated (if perhaps small) team of people who’s sole responsibility it is to design clean, uncluttered interfaces for the KDE suite might be just what KDE needs to reach that “inflection point,” I feel.
