  • If there was a single solution that provided the following:

    • allow me to donate a set, reoccurring, monthly sum. I.e $20, 40, 60, etc, to 1 service
    • that service would then allow me to add “sub-services” like nixos, postmarketos, firefox, whatever, and it would split out my lum sum between all the subservices.
    • the service was 100% transparent, vetting, and vouched for, with paper trails showing the money actually went to the sub services and how much of a cut they take.
    • if it offered a local only program or app that would analyze what projects I used (its easy to forget about all the packages that linchpin everything we use) to help offer me suggestions on who I could donate to.

    Basically a Spotify for open source, but instead of basing it on my listen history and contracts with record labels, let me choose manually how my subscription payment is split out.

    I keep meaning to take a deeper look at open collective, but haven’t found the time or had anyone else (donator or developer) share their experiences.
