I would love to see this same thing but for box software tools, like sublime text and such. It worries me becoming dependent on external services like this.

Then it wouldn't be the same business model as this (conversion to paid customers for services bundled) and it would probably not work out really well.

It seems to work alright for the humblebundles (games)

Noted. Any particular apps you'd like to see? (please send an email to me cheng.soon@hackermonthly.com)

Maybe you can make a setup of FOSS tools that hackers uses (OpenSSH, vim, tmux, Ubuntu, etc.) and make a big donation to them as a way to say "thank you".

+1 for that. I would rather donate to debian than ubuntu though

Indeed, ubuntu seems to be going a bad direction IMO. The other issue is that I frequently have issues with Ubuntu. I try to submit bug reports, but the bug report submitter crashes.

I would do it manually, but hey... I'm busy... and I'm just trying ubuntu out to give it another chance. Of course going back to debian+xfce I never have any problems.

Here are some OSX apps:

I already own 3/4, but I'm sure some people would be interested in a bundle.
