Getting supported as an open-source developer has always been tricky. Your project and your code is located on GitHub or somewhere similar, but your donate button is on your personal website. GitHub now introduces a sponsor button for people and projects! How does it work? Ever needed to have an ellipsis show up on the 3rd line of your paragraph?
