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.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.Instead of building yet another SaaS wouldn't be smarter for users to gather and pay for a software libre solution?
