Overview

This page outlines a sustained effort to empower independent developers and small teams who strive to compete with large corporations. The initiative, called Support Independent Developers Competing with Corporations, focuses on practical support for creators who prioritize openness, fairness, and user trust. Donations enable core software development, reliable hosting, and community-driven tooling that keeps nimble, principled projects in the game.

For this project, the goal is to create a stable path for independent developers to progress without compromising on ethics or user experience. Donations are allocated to development, infrastructure, and outreach so that small teams can ship features that rival larger incumbents—without surrendering their values.

  • Fund transparent, user-centered decision making and open release processes.
  • Support accessibility, multilingual outreach, and inclusive participation across diverse communities.
  • empower sustainable growth through predictable funding for hosting, security, and governance experiments.
