I developed an aversion to "with love"-marketing. I've seen too many products come full circle from idealistic "ad-free-forever" "will-never-sell-your-data" "open-source-forever" "customer-first" student-times to selling out everything.

It should be “made for profit, we need to pay mortgage/loan as most of people”… this would be more honest :)

Buy-me-coffee / you can donate / payments in bitcoins accepted / pay as you use / etc.

But I am curious what could work so people wouldn’t be discouraged immediately?

Subscription (monthly/quarterly/annual) is annoying as well…

Adobe has started this wave, I remember it vividly.

Just to be clear, I’ve been contributing to the open-source community since 2020, and I have no intention of misleading anyone. The use of the word ‘love’ isn’t about branding off another product-it’s simply a tool I personally needed, so I built it. If you’d like, you can also check my GitHub to see my work.

I meant it more as feedback, to be aware that some people might have this reaction. I do believe it is sincere in the beginning.

It sets you up for the inevitable rugpull, with love.
