@thisismissem@hachyderm.ioI'm currently at 36 supporters for all the work I do on the fediverse, and I'd love to get that up to 50+ this year, so at least fourteen more monthly supporters.
Currently my supporters found approximately 720€ (after I deduct transaction fees)
I do about 20 hours of work a month on open source projects (that I count, more uncounted)
If you'd like to support my work: https://support.thisismissem.social
Direct is preferred, but ko-fi and GitHub sponsors are both available.
An example of where those 20 hours go:
- Sunday: 4.5hrs implementing Hashtag Search UI in Mastodon
- Tuesday: 1.5hrs writing a security vulnerability disclosure for a fediverse project, 2 hours implementing better support for federated east-asian language content through ruby/rp/rt html tags support in Mastodon (merged)
- Wed, 19th, spent 2 hours helping to investigate and debug a set of new Mastodon issues related to new compiler toolchains on MacOS and Archlinux
So at €700/mo income from supporters and approximately 20 hours a month of work, that's an hourly rate of €35 per hour.
This means I need to work more freelance on closed-source than contributing to open-source projects, and currently freelance work has dried up for a bit.
Also keep in mind that I need about €5000/mo pre-tax income to be able to do any of the work I do in the fediverse.
I'd love to work with some organisations to help innovate in the fediverse or build features that help them better use the fediverse (ideally fixing open issues)
I'm happy to list names & logos of supporters on https://support.thisismissem.social (so far no one has taken me up on that offer)
@thisismissem I went the Github Sponsors route, does that work fine for you?
@mpanhans sure, though I'm still trying to get receipts from them
@thisismissem I'm truly impressed that you're getting that. All I get is the air I can breathe.
