I totally take your second point. But for the niche of apps that is developed for tech folks (think sth like ripgrep) this seems pretty viable. For user-facing apps, it should always be the platform(s) distributing it that should have a pool mechanism.
So google for android apps, Apple for iOS. Yeah, I know, that'll be a cold day in hell... PC software is a tough one there since there's no one app store. Which is the PC platform's strength, but yeah, that makes a pool difficult. As you said, Liberapay tried something like this. Would be cool if something like this could become big enough to justify the legal legwork necessary for this. |
