Just hit $113 in donations! Like our first commit — small, meaningful, and something we'll probably look back on and laugh at how small it was.

Bitcoin? Just code. The real "digital gold" is the open-source devs shaping the future—one commit at a time.

Bad Joke of the Day: "Open Source Edition" Why did the developer break up with their proprietary software? Because they wanted commit-ment… to open source. (We’ll see ourselves out. 👨‍💻🚪)

So far, $203 donated. We’re just getting started on changing how open source gets funded. Not enough for a VC round yet, but enough to keep the coffee machine running while you fight that one stubborn bug ☕️

Midori Browser is now a verified project on ADS Fund! astian.org/midori-browser/

We are just getting started!

Just donated $100 to OneUptime — currently the #1 project on our platform! Are AI agents buying OneUptime to monitor themselves and make sure they're... up? 🤖🧐 Self-care is getting meta.

RetroArch from libretro just appeared on our platform. We donated $100 the moment we saw it! 💰 Why did RetroArch apply for open source funding? Because it’s the only project where both the target audience and the emulators are so old, they’re collecting pensions! 🕹️👴

Big Tech takes from open source and then turns its back on the community. It's up to us to make a difference. They never will. Support open source like we do: opencollective.com/adsfund

We just donated $200 via Github Sponsors to the Android terminal emulator Termux. Props to Termux Devs for keeping the command line alive and kicking on mobile!

With Cursor the same thing happens and you don't even have anyone to blame but yourself

We've donated $130 to ReVanced which is 50% of the total LP fees collected (projects receive 100% after verification) This will be our final donation, as the devs have requested removal from our website. We respect their decision and wish them the best.

Take a look at jack building the future of communication: Bitchat. Decentralized, off-grid, and censorship-resistant messaging. Powered by you, not by corporations. This is what technology should empower. This is what we support at ADS Fund.

A new project is now live on our website: Sniffnet. We’ve supported them with a $50 bonus donation. Use it to check your network traffic. You might be surprised by how much your browser is spying on you.

This always happens with Cursor because you're always wondering what something means, since you didn’t code it yourself.
