Set up Github Sponsor?

I am sure some people will subscribe to support the development of socketioxide.

It is a good idea, I'm going to do it. But I don't expect very much at the moment.

[tausifcreates]

I subbed 😄 Just for 1$ tho. I hope I will be able to support more in future.

The sponsor link takes nowhere :(

It will be ok once my profile is validated

Creating tiers for the sponsors is a good idea. People who visit the sponsor page generally become confused on how much they should subscribe for. so a few tiers (1$, 3$, 5$, 10$ etc) with perks ( Discord membership, One-2-One mentoring) will be a nice addition, like Patreon.

Maybe down the road you can offer commercial cloud services with Socketio. For now, some marketing is necessary. We know how popular of a tool Socketio is and rust can ramp up socketio's performance by large factors.

I agree with you but for the moment socketioxide is absolutely not production ready so I won't propose any one comercial support or mentoring. Also I currently don't want to manage any community/marketing stuff.

Fair. Even if you do not offer perks, tiers are great for avoiding confusions and excite visitors (As I see how others arrange the sponsor page).

Lastly, leave the marketing duty on the community (laughing)
