I'm going to. But I know he with folks at <a href="https://cr8r.gg/tags/DeltaChat" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#<span>DeltaChat</span></a> <span class="h-card" translate="no"><a href="https://chaos.social/@delta" class="u-url mention" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">@<span>delta</span></a></span> got the DeltaChat family of apps and <a href="https://cr8r.gg/tags/WebXDC" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#<span>WebXDC</span></a> as well funded. So we are hearing from one of people who actually have doing it.</p><p>PS: As a disclaimer, I work at DeltaChat.</p><p>PS2: As far as I know, DeltaChat ecosystem has got multiple sources of funding and more than one people managed to get funding for development for one or more of these apps there. For instance, I think DeltaTouch got funded separately. DeltaChat Tauri got funded separately by <span class="h-card" translate="no"><a href="https://social.nlnet.nl/@nlnet" class="u-url mention" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">@<span>nlnet</span></a></span> thanks to the efforts of Simon Laux.</p><p>PS3: The same foundations such as NLnet or organizations which funded DC, also funded many other cool FOSS projects. If you want to learn more, it's a good idea to checkout experience of other projects and people outside DeltaChat, too. As a bonus, you can find many interesting projects you could not find elsewhere thanks to SEO algorithms not showing you those.</p><p><a href="https://cr8r.gg/tags/FOSSFunding" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#<span>FOSSFunding</span></a> <a href="https://cr8r.gg/tags/Funding" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#<span>Funding</span></a> <a href="https://cr8r.gg/tags/FOSSEconomy" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#<span>FOSSEconomy</span></a> <a href="https://cr8r.gg/tags/Economy" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#<span>Economy</span></a> <a href="https://cr8r.gg/tags/OpenSource" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#<span>OpenSource</span></a></p>
