Expenses and Donations

[dex4er]

Anyone can support the Freelens project by making donations to cover maintenance costs and invest in its development.

If you also want to donate to the Freelens project you can currently do so directly through GitHub Sponsors:
https://github.com/sponsors/freelensapp

If you want to use another system, please feel free to contact us via discussions or by opening an issue, thanks!

For now, let's start by making our balance sheet transparent through this page.
Later, we'll see if we can use systems like Open Collective or evolve in another way.

The remainder of the essential expenses will then be invested in the development of Freelens in agreement with the core team and the community.
