Will you be accepting financial donations to the budget tool through some service like librepay or ko-fi or github sponsors (once the project has been open sourced)?

Hi Anand,

Yes, I will be, to help with the operating costs, especially when we offer some services that allow you to upload big chunks of media like images, videos.

My plan is not to limit the community with just budget, but more open, free, secure services for people, that actually solve a problem or helps in their life someway.

I haven't used any of them and we could set up all of them - depending on their terms and conditions.

Do you have experience with them or would you recommend one?

Thank you for the interest and care :)

I have donated through ko-fi, liberpay, and paypal. I don't have any experience setting one of these up to accept donations.

Librepay has a very FOSS approach to accepting donations and many open source projects (big and small) use it.
Github sponsors might be more "seamless" for people to sponsor. Directly through the github page.

Thank you!

I will investigate all starting with Librepay. My next idea revolves around some media usage so we might need more disk space sooner than I thought.
