Do you mean coders on patreon itself? Any links to coder patreons I can look at? Or do you mean a new startup that's patreon for open source/coders? It would be really interesting to build a patreon platform tailor made for coders if the market for it is not already taken by patreon.


> Do you mean coders on patreon itself?

Yes, they're on Patreon proper. Patreon isn't constrained to entertainment.

> Any links to coder patreons I can look at?

A few I know or Googled:

- https://www.patreon.com/bcachefs - Works on a new filesystem

- https://www.patreon.com/cemu - A WiiU emulation project

- https://www.patreon.com/ShareX - An open source Windows application for sharing stuff

- https://www.patreon.com/evanyou - Works on Vue.js

- https://www.patreon.com/alanstorm - Works on lots of open source stuff in the PHP community

There are a ton for game projects and such.

Just go to Patreon and search for "Open Source" and you'll see a bunch.


Shameless plug: https://www.patreon.com/sinusoidal

I just opened it a couple of days ago, still have to polish the story and probably be more active on social media (I don't have Twitter, etc... I really despise Twitter but I kind of feel I am missing huge opportunities to get visibility...)


Oh very cool. That's actually really legit and some of them are great projects/talented people. Patreon is definitely not for entertainment or the arts itself, but it does sort of have that vibe and the software's intuitive usage is built around content patronage instead of software patronage (understandably so). I wonder if patreon model can be disrupted for coding/software projects or if it's already too big and enough coders are happy with the current way it is.


For the record, cemu is closed source.
