Font Awesome raised $721,620 to build an open source library of web components. Their goal was $30,000.
I need to collect my thoughts and put it in a blog post but I'm curious what the community's thoughts are on this because that is not a trivial amount of money.
As a web platform PM working in open source and trying to find ways to get funding for projects...was this good marketing? Is it selling a different solution to what's already out there?
