Just curious (not in the industry), and I guess you maybe have already looked into this, but in addition to paid support have you considered paid work for implementing a specific new feature that a company wanted? A previous company I worked for did this for custom requests and made some money out of it.

No one wants to pay for that either.

What is up with those fundraising goals? Due to weird scaling, the number of 0s in the goal overflow onto each other, but it looks like you’re asking for hundreds of thousands or millions of euros to port things. Maybe that’s a reasonable sum for the work entailed, but I can’t recall ever seeing numbers that high for any kind of crowdfunded projects or open source support. Is asking for that kind of money realistic?
German-style number delimitors: '.' for thousands and ',' for the fractional part So the highest targets are 20000 EUR, which seems very reasonable. I think it's a bit silly to include the Eurocents though...
The highest was €20k. Your browser was just doing something weird. Anyways, a totally reasonable sum for a couple of months of full time dev work.
I think most of them are in the the €5,000-20,000 range and there’s an issue with rendering the numbers that is duplicating the decimal value after the comma. Seems in line with other projects / compensation sources on the face of things.
