A comment on Firefly III – Self-hosted financial manager.

This is amazing, and clearly takes a tremendous amount of work, and judging by the comments here provides an invaluable service to many many people. Which makes it somewhat discouraging that when you look at the Patreon link https://www.patreon.com/jc5, people support him to the tune of only $27/month. Makes me wonder if my ideas for small scale SAAS could ever possibly be financially viable.

Oh well, it’s just a hobby you know? And I guess people who need financial management tools aren’t people looking for more expenses ;)

I’m happy with every donation. I use it to pay the AWS bill and maybe get a beer.

But make no mistake, a lot of people have donated one-time over PayPal which is greatly appreciated as well.

That's great to hear people have donated over PayPal, and I suppose it is cool that you think of it less like a way to make a living and more like a hobby. Great job!
