Would be interested in more detailed followup about the search. Anything in particular stands out?
Project: Joplin joplinapp.org !joplinapp@sopuli.xyz
What it does right: Focus on user experience by aligning aims of product with aim of users.
Everything it does is foss, however its main revenue achieving product (cloud sync target) is focused on convenience rather than vendor lock-in. So it incentivizes the project to cater to its users.
What’s so unique about it: due to lack of monetary incentive a lot of oss projects simply forget about the user and serve mostly to themselves. They fail to listen to feedback because listening to feedback means loss of resources rather than gaining them. As a result many critical bugs are unfixed for decades and UI is so dated no new users want to use the product.
TLDR: don’t forget to create revenue generating module along with the main foss product
Classy!
Bloody banking apps. I’m sick of them not exposing any API to make third party apps.
Thanks! I’m interested in more information detailing your vision.
Any criteria for identifying sweet spot projects where the funding is “almost right”: non over or under funded (where each donation matters the most)?
This sub is used mostly for providing support to those who didn’t want to register on official forum. It has little traction, memes, shitposting and engagement in general
So its value stems from users providing support to the main product – rather than being engagement farm which is profitable to reddit
