Show HN: Get Paid to Build Your Next Side Project
Photoshop license costs $348 a year. If 1000 people get together and put $400 each, you'll get $400000. That money could be used to leverage a Gimp to be more Photoshop-users friendly. Then you don't have to keep with the subscription model. You have a great piece of open source software available for everyone to use as long as they want. You can do another round to get more features added.<p>This solves the issue that you get with subscription based services, which is that if you stop paying every month/year you loose access to the tool to do your work.<p>Instead of building yet another SaaS wouldn't be smarter for users to gather and pay for a software libre solution?
