There is something really cool going on with payment over the wire. But why written in Rust? absolute pain to setup.

This is the same rationale for governments raising taxes.

100% agree. If an open source project needs money to run, then isn't that defeating the purpose of being open source? Open source is a gift economy. If the owner can monetise it on the side then that is just a bonus.

I recently launched this satellite imagery tool.

https://satellitemine.com/

I work as a civil engineer in the mining industry and it can be troublesome to download satellite imagery for a particular date and cloud index. Yes, Google Earth Engine and QGIS plugins exist, but they are slow and confusing to jump back into after a period of time. SatelliteMine is simple to use and any images of your area of interest is saved to your account and can be downloaded as a geotiff.

Currently free to use with a cloud storage capped at 512MB per account. Paid plans for greater storage requirements will be provided if the demand is there. Any feedback is welcomed :)
