 ## 💖 This project needs your help!
-ImageGlass is free and open source but developing it has taken thousands of hours of my time and a large part of my sanity. If you feel this little viewer is useful to you, it would go a great way to ensure that I can afford to take the time to continue to develop it.
+ImageGlass is an open source, free, and ad-free photo viewer, but developing and maintaining it is not. Your financial support gives me more motivation to work on future releases. You can sponsor my work on GitHub (one-time/monthly, no service fee), Patreon (monthly), PayPal,...
 
-Thanks for your gratitude and financial help!
