great news, we love to see it<p>this makes me think -- is there room in the world for some sort of foundation/conservancy that takes reputable desktop app projects under its wing, provides funding, version control hosting, whatever... and then, crucially, offers to sign releases with its identity so windows and macos users don't get the popup of doom? and then maybe fast track publishing to app stores on top of that? is that kind of codesigning identity sharing a tos violation?<p>i overflow my hands counting the projects i can name that are solid, polished, etc, but in the era of gatekeeper and friends inevitably present pretty brutal friction to typical end-users because the dev can't justify shelling out for apple developer or whatever.<p>i mean yes broad financing of free software efforts would have a similar effect but yknow. projects like drawing apps and media players are pretty broad-use. hell, blender has a foundation with corporate donors. but what about the more obscure stuff that doesn't create its own entire ecosystem but nonetheless improves the lives of users within its niche? maybe we could make it fashionable for wealthier techies to adopt those projects as patrons in the old sense or something
