I just saw an email from Buy Me a Coffee. Not just one. I went in, and I’m truly shocked. Thank you all for the support; I would like to thank each and every one of you individually someday. Honestly, I don’t know what to say. The account balance is $350, which will definitely allow me to develop kbin faster or at least not worry so much about equipment costs. Today, I don’t have the headspace to think about how exactly I’ll use it, but I will definitely consult with you and report back in the future. Thank you also for all the kind words, suggestions, and questions. They are equally important to me.

I’m sorry that the current circumstances are such that kbin isn’t functioninng as it should, but it has given me additional motivation to keep fighting. That’s for sure.

Honestly dude start a Patreon or something even if you only do it for temporary. I would chip in $5/month for a while to pay for server costs if it means getting a stable site and a viable alternative to Reddit.

It’s going to be a heck of an effort. I’d be down to contribute to Patreon if this is an option.

Agreed, brah. I just donated, and would gladly donate via recurring methods if implemented. Also, what Kaldo said earlier…don’t develop this by yourself, you’re gonna burn out faster than you think.

It’s also useful because it allows monthly flow, which is way more useful for planning than just a lump sum and ??? on what you’ll get in a few months.

Also it helps to further gauge growth. New users is one thing, but new users actively donating for the betterment of the project is something entirely different. (Also first kbin.social comment, hope this place explodes in a good way!)
