So it's another Patreon but for open source exclusively?

Every time I feel like donating to something I get pushed into a subscription and I end up donating... zero.

Last one was Mozilla. Please make it recurring! Please make it recurring! No thank you.

I think seeing it as Patreon for open source is fine, as Patreon's offering is quite ill-suited for OSS (e.g. bad/abandoned API), leaving a lot of room in that niche.

As far as I can tell you can still contribute financially via Polar.sh without having to subscribe.
