I never intended it to be a side project, I just liked the extension and started contributing heavily to it, to the point where I became the maintainer for the next several years.

I get about that amount per month in GitHub Sponsorships. Not nearly worth the amount of time I put into it, but it’s relatively effortless work. It makes my regular work on other GitHub projects more enjoyable (due to the features that Refined GitHub adds)

Really cool. My last job recommended it so I had started using it. I got laid off a while ago and I still use it now.

I used it a lot when i was required to use github. In fact, i think i used to send you a lot of patches on npm stuff. I recall sending open source sponsorship requests often but never heard of any follow up.

Thankfully not required to suffer github anymore. Specially now that their search is so bad. I dont' even want to imagine the work you had "refining" their new code viewer :)
