We are currently in an age where a large portion of open source apps are actively maintained, users understand more about open source than ever before and open source software is almost as good, if not better, than their proprietary counterparts.

This is just a huge thank you to anyone and everyone involved in the making and maintaining of open source software.

As a regular tester, I do my best to provide any feedback I can to make your vision come to fruition.

    Not everybody can code, so donors giving their hard earned cash also deserve credit, some projects (for example godot ) can hire multiple full time people due to it, and that can include jobs that don’t get a lot of open source contributors like UX people.

      Godot is insane. Blender too! These projects make me feel a sense of pride in our community that I don’t really qualify to feel, but these people keep making me feel it anyway.

      Well done yo!

          Yes!

          There’s this new video editor I saw someone working on. Olive or something I think.

          Really amazing progress!

          Same with Natron, the FOSS Video Compositing Software, like After Effects.

          Plus plus, Penpot, the Figma alternative. I’m waiting for the desktop app.

          I’m so pumped for the future of Open Source Projects. 🎉🫠🎉🫠
