Sponsor Meshfleet
The Meshfleet core is open source under the MIT license. It's maintained by one person in their spare time. If you or your company use it, sponsorship helps keep the project healthy.
Why sponsor?
Sponsorship is not a transaction — it's a vote of confidence. It tells the maintainer that the work matters, and it buys back the time the maintainer would otherwise spend on a day job. Sponsors don't get special features or priority support; you get the same MIT-licensed software as everyone else. The money funds:
- →Maintenance time — reviewing PRs, triaging issues, cutting releases, keeping CI green
- →Documentation — the docs, the blog, the FAQ, the examples, the press kit
- →Infrastructure — meshfleet.app hosting (Cloudflare Workers), domain registration, CI minutes
- →Future development — the v0.9 and v1.0 work, batch writes, embedding routing, distributed ledger
How to sponsor
github.com/sponsors/johnmwhitman — recurring (monthly) or one-time. Tax-deductible in some jurisdictions. Integrated with GitHub profile. Cancel anytime.
A formal fiscal host is on the roadmap. When set up, sponsors will be able to contribute as individuals or companies, with invoices for accounting. Not available yet — check /releases for the announcement.
Just as valuable: write a blog post, record a video, file a useful bug report, contribute a PR, or tell a colleague. The contributing guide covers the code path. Everything else is just signal — the more people know about the project, the more users, the more contributors, the more momentum.
What sponsors don't get
This is important. Sponsorship is not a service contract. You don't get:
- ✗Priority support — all support is best-effort; see /support
- ✗Custom features — the roadmap is public; propose features via GitHub issues like anyone else
- ✗Roadmap influence — the maintainer decides priorities; sponsor input is welcome but not binding
- ✗License changes — the MIT license is permanent; no sponsor can change that
