You also make Caddy, right? I've been impressed by how you encourage donations to that project. The copy on the caddy site is totally different from nearly all other OSS that asks for donations, very well done.

Does it work? Do Caddy donations and support contracts cover your bills?

Thanks. We recently moved away from a donation model, and we now seek sponsorships and subscribers: https://caddyserver.com/pricing

Donations never did cover more than a few meals per month. That was nice, but sponsorships and the Engineering Package allow me (and my business partner) to dedicate more time on development and invest back into the community for the project's growth. Still not at the break-even point yet, but I'm hoping that won't take too long...

Ahyeah, so the sponsorship part is what I meant by "better copy for getting donations" :-) Hope you'll go break-even soon!
