I run https://codefund.io. We have been focusing on providing ethical advertising to support open source development for nearly 3 years. We provide both javascript-based ad embedding, as well as server-to-server. Our platform is 100% open source [1]. We do not store any IP addresses, nor any identifiable information on ad viewers. We are even endorsed by DuckDuckGo as a viable alternative to Google Ads [2]. Our platform is whitelisted with AcceptableAds.com as well [3].
This is so cool! I've been writing ad software for the greater part of the decade, and my dream has always been to write my own small app to serve ads like how you are describing, but I'd be afraid that nobody would find value in it because there would be obvious restrictions beyond geo targeting.
It's great to see that you've proven it's possible and made it open source on top of it!
