Overview

Independent creators worldwide contribute to a vibrant ecosystem of ideas, tools, stories, and communities. This initiative supports that ecosystem by providing sustainable, non-intrusive funding to artists, developers, writers, educators, and organizers who work openly and inclusively. The focus is on enabling people to publish, collaborate, and share knowledge without being constrained by a single paywall or platform. By investing in these creators, we empower a more diverse, accessible, and resilient creative landscape that benefits learners, hobbyists, and practitioners across borders.

Our aim is to build a reliable, ongoing channel of support that recognizes the value of autonomous work and shared culture. The project name reflects a global aspiration: to sustain independent creators who experiment, teach, and connect communities through open practices and meaningful collaboration.

Contributions come from individuals who believe in principled, transparent practice. Donors support not just content, but the frameworks that make that content possible—hosting, tooling, safety, accessibility, and the networks that connect creators with audiences who care about quality, integrity, and long-term stewardship.

Why Your Support Matters

Small, regular gifts have outsized impact when directed toward independent creators. Your support helps stabilize plans that require continuity, such as feature development, documentation, and community outreach. It also sustains the infrastructure that makes open projects scalable and accessible to new learners and contributors around the world.

Beyond dollars, your involvement signals a shared commitment to open culture, mentorship, and diverse voices. It supplies the momentum for creators to prototype new formats, translate materials for broader accessibility, and host conversations that broaden participation in tech, arts, and education. By joining this effort, you join a global network of people who value thoughtful risk-taking, accountability, and sustained collaboration.

We believe in accountability without sacrificing imagination. Donors are invited to follow progress through public updates, open metrics, and community-led decision processes. This approach reinforces trust and ensures that support directly aligns with the needs and priorities of the creator community.

How Donations Are Used

Funding is allocated with clarity and purpose to empower independent creators to do important work over the long term. We categorize spending to cover the essentials of sustaining creative and technical projects while keeping a tight focus on impact and stewardship:

Development and maintenance — continuing improvements to core tools, editor experiences, and collaboration platforms that creators rely on day to day.

Hosting and infrastructure — bandwidth, servers, security, and uptime to ensure projects remain accessible to diverse audiences without interruption.

Research and experimentation — pilots, user testing, and exploratory work that push boundaries while remaining grounded in real user needs.

Outreach and inclusivity — translation, localization, accessibility upgrades, and partnerships that expand participation across regions and communities.

Community governance — transparent processes for allocating resources, public reporting, and opportunities for contributors to shape priorities.

We publish annual funding reports and maintain open metrics where feasible. Donors can review how funds are distributed and track measurable outcomes over time. This transparency reinforces trust and demonstrates the tangible value of sustained support.
