An off-topic question!

If Flarum and more than 95% of its extensions are free, how do the developers make money running this project? Sorry if this is sort of personal, but I'm a bit curious to know 🙂

Mark73 Hi!

We are currently a volunteer service, and the developers work for free on the project out of passion to see the software grow and develop.
We have recently started paying @Franz for dedicated development time on Flarum, and are working on plans such as partnerships, sponsorships and more to bring in revenue to pay additional staff members to work dedicated hours on the project.

In addition, you can support the flarum project by becoming a financial backer as @clarkwinkelmann has pointed out. Backers get a shiny handshake icon over their avatar like mine 😁😀
