#founderlife — Public Fediverse posts

Hi everyone 👋

I’m the creator of an open-source project: https://zoomment.com/

The project already has users and I’m actively maintaining and improving it. I really enjoy working on it and would love to invest much more time into development.

The challenge is that I also need to earn money to make that possible.

I’m curious if anyone here has experience turning an open-source project into something sustainable financially.
What models worked for you? (donations, hosted version, paid features, consulting, sponsorships, etc.)

Any advice, examples, or suggestions would be really appreciated 🙏
