This sounds too good to be true. Who's funding this project?

Hi, I made sr.ht. The users are funding it! There's some information about this here:

https://man.sr.ht/billing-faq.md

Thanks, I also found this information in the site: https://lists.sr.ht/~sircmpwn/sr.ht-discuss/%3C2018071822544...

It seems a fresh revenue model after so much the-user-is-the-product models. Here's is to your success!

Thank you!
What's the pricing structure going to be, ie. how much should I expect to pay for hosting a dozen of small git repos? I can't access the billing page without an account.

Thanks for your work for the FLOSS community, btw. I've got one machine running Sway and I might start using sr.ht.

You can choose any of $2/mo, $5/mo, or $10/mo, depending on your financial situation and investment in sr.ht. All plans have access to all features. Here's a screenshot of the billing page:

I'll capture the information here in the billing FAQ and make it easier to get to the billing FAQ without signing up later tonight.

Thanks for using sway :)

Thanks for providing this and thanks for allowing us to pay for an account. I hope that sr.ht becomes sustainable, it's great to have an alternative that is focused on open source developers.
Love the idea that of contributors being eligible for free access!
