Thanks to all the new, current and former supporters!
I am a bit overwhelmed right now, but will try to provide some background information and answer some questions over the course of this day.
For now, since many of you probably are not Emacs users and might be wondering how this is relevant to you, consider that Magit has inspired some (incomplete) clones, that you might find useful.
See https://github.com/magit/magit/wiki/Inspired-by-Magit for a list of tools inspired by Magit and https://emacsair.me/2017/09/01/magit-for-non-emacs-users/ for some older musings of mine on the matter.
for those who have used both Magit and neogit, how's the neogit experience as a Magit clone?
https://github.com/TimUntersberger/neogit
Steps to reproduce:
1. Clone <https://chromium.googlesource.com/chromium/src>.
2. Navigate to this directory in Emacs dired.
3. Run magit-status.
4. Observe how long it takes for Emacs to become responsive again. For me it's 28 seconds, while running git status in the terminal takes 6 seconds.
This reminds me of the recent core-js blog post [1], however Magit is extremely actionable with clear steps to donate or even receive a bill for your employer.
What we need is a system where we can all pull from a common pool of FOSS donations. For example if my projects were registered and I made commits during a donation cycle, I could received a fair portion of donation revenue. Something similar to residuals [2]
