Project donations

Great project! Thanks for creating this. It's a very simple and elegant solution to data replication.

Does the project accept financial contributions to support development?

Thanks, Michael!

I feel weird taking contributions from individuals since it's typically companies that benefit the most from open source development. I may open GitHub sponsorships in the future if there are corporate sponsors that are interested but there's no donations available otherwise right now.

Well, in that case, I'm a company.

I was looking for a paid service like sprunge to let users share their debug logs with me. Sprunge is great, but it seems to be unmaintained and likely to die soon when AppEngine drops off Python 2.7. I couldn't find any similar service. I looked at self-hosted options, but it looked like every option required you to do your own database backup. So last week, I built a quick 'n dirty service myself using litestream to replicate the datastore (demo, still a work in progress).

I'm probably not what you have in mind when you say "corporate sponsors," but I'd commit to $10/month.

TinyPilot looks awesome. :)

I'll let you know if I open up a sponsorship in the future. It's not a high priority for me right now but I really appreciate the support!
