It started with me wanting to support Lemmy, my Lemmy instance and Voyager. Then I checked what other open source apps I had installed from F-Droid. It would exceed my budget to donate to them all, so I chose the 10 apps that I most frequently use.
- Lemmy
- My Lemmy instance
- Aegis
- DAVx5
- F-Droid
- Feeder
- HeliBoard
- KeePassDX
- Öffi
- Voyager
- Honorable mention to AntennaPod. It was on this list, but their contribution page states that their costs are already covered.
This is just my personal list, but I thought it’s a nice idea to share it and maybe others will do the same and donate to their most used open source apps and projects.
Disagree, if every user of these 10 apps did this it would end up a lot better for them all than every user choosing their favourite and giving them $50. If they choose randomly it would end up roughly the same, but in general people are going to end up skewing towards certain apps over others when forced to choose a favourite.
And if doing it randomly ends up the same as splitting it on a large scale, I think this is the more sensible approach personally.
