Description

mini.nvim is fantastic. First i was skeptical how one person can maintain a reasonable level of quality for so many sub-packages, but you proved yourself beyond my expectations. I want to support you, my Ukrainian brother. How can i do this?

echasnovski commented 4 months ago

I sincerely thank you for the kind words and willingness for financial support!

Unfortunately, at the moment GitHub Sponsors is not available in Ukraine. As it seems to be the easiest way enable support, I did not look any further yet. Maybe I should.

.... how one person can maintain a reasonable level of quality for so many sub-packages.

The answer is mostly in the name and general principles. Most modules are already finished in terms of feature set. So for them only maintenance for breaking changes on Nightly (like latest gra/grn built-in mappings) and possibly reimplementing features (like the latest refactor of 'mini.statusline') is left.

And writing new modules is usually fun for me, so there's that :)

it’s a shame it’s not supported there! Can you please post your credit card or at least crypto wallet? I would send money to you directly, that’s not a bother at all

Thanks, but I'd rather not. Let's wait for some more centralized options. I'll let you know by closing this issue as "Resolved" :)

I was just wondering about this same. Here are some additional options to consider:

Upwork
Patreon
Paypal

I am willing to support you too! Mini is the best set of plugins for neovim

Thank you so much for your enthusiasm!

I looked into all of these. My main concern is that sponsoring should be made as easy for givers as it gets. All of these do not seem yet to be as convenient as GitHub sponsors. I'll probably figure something out :)
