replyPLus you're missing the licensing aspect, part of this is AGPL if you use the free version, lots of places are happy to throw down money to get a commercial license rather than hem and haw over AGPL.

replyKind of, not really, in this case it's a subscription that renews monthly/yearly so you have to remember to cancel it when your reach the amount you wanted to donate, maybe you didn't want to donate as much as 1 month costs so you're left not sending them any money in the end, right now you can't even subscribe cause their console 404's. You got to make it as easy as possible for people to part with their money, component library subscription is not it.
