Note: This uses github sponsors, which is a microsoft owned middleman as @poVoq@slrpnk.net mentioned. I heavily recommend https://liberapay.com/ as an alternative. The idea of the project is solid, though

I personally think this is a good idea. FOSS is amazing but it needs some funding in reality. What are your thoughts?

Yeah, the fact they use github sponsors drill your point further. Great comment by the way.
