htmlbutcher VS lemonade-stand

In 2006/2007 I built HTMLBucher, a C++ desktop application to slice PSD/image website designs made by designers to HTML.

In these years sites where made with tables, so for slicing a design I had to cut the images and fit then into borderless HTML tables.

I took 2 years to build it, and in this timeframe people started building sematic websites with CSS, and abandoning table-based designs.

I managed to sell 100 copies, for some reason 90% to India.

After some years without selling nothing, I open sourced it: https://github.com/RangelReale/htmlbutcher.

The good thing is that I REALLY learned C++ with this project, and this knowledge was the basis for my current company where I made a digitalsignage

There are tons of options. https://github.com/nayafia/lemonade-stand

As project maintainers resort to a variety of fundraising methods, it's clear that the ecosystem is still yet to adopt a truly sustainable model attractive to those who not only build OSS, but those who use it too.
