      I don't have time to go digging, but what are typical Patreon "rewards" for software projects?

      Free subscriptions/software, t-shirts, thank you/recognition page. meet up with the developers for a beer and etc.

      Yep, basically everything but actually making the software better on a better schedule.

      :-( Any of them have bounties like "$100 gets you a fix for one of the bugs tagged as medium-difficulty"?

      I have seen that once or twice. But $100 doesn't cover the (opportunity) cost of fixing a medium-difficulty bug.

      If they said "Here's a feature, it costs $2,000, here's how you pool the money for it," that sounds better to me.

      Isn't it better for open-source projects to just get donations by Paypal? Better than Patreon taking a cut of the donation.

      Most of the software engineers I know just want to write code, not run a business. Doing that is running a business.

      I don't see any evidence that begging people for $ is less work than selling useful software/service to businesses.

          Selling software directly doesn't work out well when paying for it is optional...

          FOSS licenses permit commercial use so you need to sell more than just the code, implying more work.

          If it has a FOSS license and the developers only want to work on software, all they have is begging.

          We tried that and it doesn't work well. You have to build a business around the software, not with it.

          I think we've all just re-convinced ourselves that funding independent open-sources projects is hard. :-P
