Offer a paid support tier.

Or offer an official "Business" Fork, with a more corporate name, and which has a monthly support fee.

No reason not to make money off of a project, especially if it makes it more sustainable.



Yes, this is definitely something we have in mind. Mostly because the user base starts to be quite big with a lot of feature requests, and bug fixes to be done. And currently we are only like 2/3 devs working on our spare time, it would be great to be able to have someone working on this full time.

However, we have to handle this carefully, because we don't want to charge the average retail trader, that's the whole motto of the project :)


Yep I'll be a customer. Not having to apply for keys / the API aggregation feature alone is enough for it to be worth it to me. That it's built for python data stack on top is the icing on the cake.


There is enough money to be made from knowledge everyone gains through sharing and working together on a project.

Open Source and open knowledge is what has been changing the world for the past four decades.


Couldn't agree more with this. I've learned so much these past couple of months. But having a more sustainable project with at least 1 full-time dev, would be very welcomy
