I just saw an email from Buy Me a Coffee. Not just one. I went in, and I’m truly shocked. Thank you all for the support; I would like to thank each and every one of you individually someday. Honestly, I don’t know what to say. The account balance is $350, which will definitely allow me to develop kbin faster or at least not worry so much about equipment costs. Today, I don’t have the headspace to think about how exactly I’ll use it, but I will definitely consult with you and report back in the future. Thank you also for all the kind words, suggestions, and questions. They are equally important to me.

I’m sorry that the current circumstances are such that kbin isn’t functioninng as it should, but it has given me additional motivation to keep fighting. That’s for sure.

    Solid advice! I’d also like to chime in and recommend that apart from keeping the official server alive so that new users can come in, please prioritize on making it easier for other developers to start contributing to the codebase and setting up new instances.

    I love the way people are supporting you and the way this project has been shaping up. Best wishes!

      Second this. I’d suspect the influx of Reddit expatriates contains a disproportionate rate of software engineers compared to the general population, many of whom would be happy to help support this project in their free time. Source: it’s me, I am one.
