I can finally read a website without squinting despite having glasses on already. Yay!

Never done open source but always wanted to. Developers of open source could always ask for a fee to add features, and easy prs are easy prs. But for those more complicated things that don't interest the main owners, could they offer a PR service where if you pay the developers or the project a fee, they'll take the time to review the PR and tell you what to do for it to be accepted, or keep a 5$ review fee and return the rest if it's just not a feature that jives with the project's overarching goals. I don't see why that cannot be a piece of the market. It would still be open source but it would add incentive to say a project is worth doing.

Albeit I'm sure that most would likely not be willing to pay to have their code reviewed and accepted in a project; but on another hand, if I wanted to contribute to GNUCash and I didn't want to read the manual, or I found the manual hard to understand, it would be like paying for training. So it can in certain cases be win-win.

And if it is a feature that is wanted, then there's no worry about it being reviewed. Or having to pay because the value will be obvious to the creators who will take it on.

In other words: Pay the developer/maintainer to care about the feature you want.

Has this ever been attempted and successful?

The first two paragraphs made me realize I have ADHD. I had thought I didn't have it.

Windows is not liking the font files :( Will wait for next release

;) I know but it can be read both ways. Leaning into the ambiguity.

This is fun. Seems like you got several comments here trying to "improve" it's "usefulness". I like it as is, a piece of art on how corporate speak is unrealistically obtuse.

As a mandarin learner, I find that the Chinese one lacks cadence, which makes it very hard as a learner to comprehend. It's like a machine gun of words without the subtle slight pause between sets of words that I would normally lean on.
