Hi everyone 👋

I’m the creator of an open-source project: 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 🙏

Hot take: most indie founders build in public to get followers, not to share what they're learning.

You can tell by what they don't post. The pivots. The bad weeks. The months where nothing worked.

Those posts don't get as many likes. That's why they matter more.
