Working on open source is hard

I spend a lot of time looking into issues, reviewing PRs, adding new configurations, and extending my OSS projects (like create expo stack) to make them elegant and simple to use/contribute towards.

If you appreciate my work and/or get use out of my projects, you can make a big difference with even a small amount of cash. These financial contributions allow me to justify spending more time on this necessary work. Otherwise, I rely on supplementing contributions with client work and that obviously takes time away from OSS work.

What are my costs?

  • Basics (food, internet, electricity, coffee)
  • Tooling (Github, Vercel, Screen Studio)
  • Hardware (Macbook, etc)
  • Money I could have earned working on client work instead of OSS
@danstepanov

I currently dedicate about 10 hours a week to my open source projects but with an increasing demand for integrations/configurations, I end up having to spend more time building, reviewing, and lowering the barrier of entry for new contributors. Reaching $5k/month would relieve a lot of pressure on my end such that I can confidently dedicate larger chunks of time to create-expo-stack and the projects our community is working to release in the coming months!
