Omar's thinking about interfaces is consistently striking and unusual, in the best possible way. I'm delighted to have a chance to support a kindred weirdo independent researcher!

❤️ I've been pretty blown away by the response to TabFS. I'm starting a GitHub Sponsors as an experiment to support further development on it; I want to turn it into something you can really use! would love to have your help: github.com/sponsors/osnr

Interesting to see the tensions implied by a funder drive like this one. It's centered around a specific project, and focus/utility surely brings in extra donors… but that emphasizes maintenance and roadmaps ("funding a project") over open-ended research ("funding a person").

FWIW, Omar, if you had a research-centric funding thing up ("fund me to keep working on and writing about my weird ideas"), I'd be a happy sponsor! I'm not a heavy tab user, so TabFS isn't the draw for me—just the ideas. 🔮❤️
