Show HN: Min, the world's fastest CSS framework

There are 36 words about me on the page and 202 about Min. Six times more words and 6.5 times more characters about Min. I put my own details at the very bottom of the page intentionally. There's nowhere else on the site that even mentions my existence. Min is a multi-year labor of love that I have poured an incredible amount of time into in order to make the web faster, and the amount of time I've spent writing Min, maintaining it, helping people with it (for free), doing browser testing, etc., etc. is not even one hundredth of the time I have been hired for as a result of Min.

When Min had some text about donating some years back, in small font at the bottom of the page, I had 11 people criticize me for it and one ten-cent donation. I thought that this would be a more useful way to, after years of free labor, pay off some of the costs I've spent on browser testing services, physical devices, domains, hosting, etc. Apparently I can't even do that.

I love open source, I license everything I can under the MIT license, and I contribute to OSS projects as much as I can. But there's a breaking point. I've tolerated bullshit copyright claims, people impersonating me to try to get money out of Min users, people ripping me to shreds when I added some small-font, bottom-of-the-page donation text, buying new devices just to test strange device bugs. In context your comment is really one of the most mild criticisms I've heard. Not so much "the straw that broke the camel's back" as "the straw that brought the camel to write an annoyed HN comment", but I digress.

There are many validating moments with Min; I've seen Min used around the web, from simply speeding up sites in the first world to allowing people from impoverished nations to access the Internet (on their shitty satellite connection, where a page that would cost $50 now costs cents to view). But years of continual criticism is just so incredibly exhausting to deal with.
