@apjana since I have you here. (Feel free to gracefully decline to answer any of the following.) May I ask why are you not trying to leverage the assortment of useful tools you wrote with sizeable following to be some kind of side income? I didn't miss the paypal link on every repo, but I don't think that would make much without being a recurring payment and a little bit of blog posting.

This was partly inspired by the 'to spend more time with his kid than at a computer' quote.

a bit off topic: do you have a rough idea about the number of actual users, other than github stars?

I am not trying to doxx you or anything :D, just thinking about the dynamics of open source and my own inspirations. ----- Disclaimer: I don't any experience with what I am talking about.
