A few weeks ago I've discontinued working at some of my favorite software projects. The next couple of years will likely be very busy and time always passes too quickly when you're having fun.
One of these projects was Ninja Pendisk. In contrast to other projects as WinBuilder or the Boot Land community that are well kept by other developers, the ninja was suddenly made orphan.
It is growing popular but development stagnated.
To lift up some motivation in order to continue support and improvement, I've placed a small donation box powered by Pledgie.
This is probably the first time that I've ever placed a donation box anywhere but the pledgie service is very nice and given the current state of Ninja, this sounded like a good experience.
Results arrived today.
A friendly ninja supporter named Wilson has contributed with 1 euro.
A small token to some but a meaningful contribution to me.
After paypal deducted 0,35 cents + 5% of the contribution value, I was left with little over 63 cents on my account - still good to sponsor a coffee.
Since I drink about 2~3 cups of coffee per day, this is enough to power one half of the morning or even perhaps a whole afternoon working on ninja to update it's functionality.
Let there be coffee!
:)
