My projects are and always will be free and open-source. I tinker with them and document them publicly because it’s my hobby and I enjoy it. It makes me even happier when I can inspire others to take my ideas and build on them—to further develop the projects, improve them, and put their own spin on them.
Of course, developing all these projects requires money—whether for materials, tools, software, and so on. Since this is my hobby, I only do and buy what I can afford with my own money. If a project has been particularly helpful to you, if you’ve really enjoyed it, or if you simply appreciate my work, you’re welcome to optionally support the spark_lab project financially. 100% of this money will be reinvested into spark_lab and its various projects. Below is a link to a page where you can transparently track all revenue generated from this and the expenses for spark_lab covered by that revenue. Please only support spark_lab financially if you have the money to spare and it wouldn’t be better spent on yourself.
Providing financial support to spark_lab is just one option. Sharing it, working on it, commenting on it, etc., also greatly supports the projects. Here you'll find a list of public platforms and community platforms.
You can support spark_lab financially via the Ko-fi platform.
As soon as someone makes a donation via Ko-fi and funds from that donation are used to cover expenses, it will be displayed here.
