Open Collective VS IssueHunt

Have you thanked a maintainer of an open-source project you use today? If not, go ahead and reach out to them on social media and say thank you. Does that scare you a little bit? That's OK, why not share their project on social media, sponsor them on GitHub or Open Collective, write or film a tutorial, file a great bug report, pick up one of the good-first-bugs, or star their project on GitHub?

There have been steps forward in the direction of making donation easier: https://github.com/sponsors , which can serve as a "fiscal host."
