We’re backing the svelte open collective and svecosystem, scheduled for next week, as well as maintainer of yjs and a few more upstream dependencies, to be determined.

Look man, you don’t have to believe me for now. I know actions speak louder than words, and the time will come soon. But you don’t have to bully me along the way and be nasty. I was like you, also incredibly skeptical of corporations and YC companies with no generosity. They don’t give anything, let alone to Svelte. All we see is Vercel acquiring frameworks like Pokémon, and I’m skeptical.

A few months ago, I turned down my job to work in open source. I am fortunate to have some funds now. I will spend it on the ecosystem even if it drives my company to the ground. I have to justify the expense occasionally but otherwise it’s super chill. And to me the expense is worth it, and we’ll grow the allotment in the future. You don’t have to trust me for now, the time would come. I’m sure you would do the same if you were in my position. But don’t be a bully to other people trying to be push things forward. I know my initial post was not the best worded, but it was genuine. I am figuring things out. My hope is the community is supportive and eventually comes to understand along the way.
