Merchandise is a great way to raise funds, you can also try going the patreon/substack route. I'd be happy to send a few bucks your way every month to support this project.

Yes merchandise would be great! I really appreciate your kind words. I am planning on making more YouTube content about the articles on the website and once I have a few videos I think I'll launch a patreon or something similar, but for now I am just accepting donation from our contribute page.

Thanks again for the wonderful suggestion!

I think a focus on short form content on YouTube and tiktok will drive a ton of traffic to your site. The kind of content you have is perfect for infobytes.

Honestly you could go for an optional subscription of some sort and make it dirt cheap like $3/month. I know many people (like myself) want to support this but would rather do it monthly, and if you offer it in the app non-intrusively with just a single reminder then you'd probably get the exposure to make those $3/month subscriptions add up. Maybe add a couple perks that wouldn't seem unfair like dark mode or priority when submitting articles or something. Giving attribution to who submitted the article would probably also boost submissions if you go that route.

Also I'm a software developer and would love to volunteer my free time to bring it to Android or implement features if you need more assistance. It's a great idea that I can get behind. Just give me a DM if you're interested
