I've recently lost my largest source of income allowing to work on Dear ImGui. It's a bit worrying but not short-term critical yet, as last years I've pushed hard to get other teams on board, contributing via various sponsoring, support contracts, test engine licenses etc.
I'm thankful to everyone who allowed keeping the lib permissive & open source for many years. I do 100% intend to keep it as such. If your team relies on it, consider reaching out to discuss ways of supporting the software.
@janvhs@filippo I am successful making income this way tbh. It just happens that i had many eggs in same basket and lose them. I’ll bounce back and keep working on dear imgui!
@grumpygamer I closed the Patreon four years ago because I had evidence it created a perception where large companies would aim lower when doing financial contributions. Nowadays I mostly do B2B invoices for eg sponsoring yearly or whatever works best in context, when there’s a will there’s always a path :)
