Supporting Open Source
ScreenshotOne wouldn’t exist without open source.
We use open-source software every day, contribute when we can, and sponsor projects that we want to see thrive. Supporting them feels like the right thing to do. It is one way we can thank the people whose work makes ScreenshotOne possible.
Contributions
Between March and July 2026, ScreenshotOne spent $7,950 supporting open-source projects (including $450 in GitHub Sponsors fees).
- oRPC: $1,000 per month, sponsored since March 15, 2026. Five payments total $5,300 (including $300 in fees). Read how we use oRPC in ScreenshotOne.
- Coolify: $500 per month, sponsored since March 16, 2026. Five payments total $2,650 (including $150 in fees). Coolify gives people an accessible self-hosting platform for hobby and production projects, helping them save money while building something useful.
A work in progress
Right now, there is no clear sponsorship budget. The process is still a bit chaotic, and we have not yet figured out how to make these contributions sustainable and grow them over time. We also cannot promise that every sponsorship will continue forever.
This page shows where things stand today. We will keep it updated as we make new contributions or change existing ones.
A note on sponsorship perks
Some sponsorships come with perks. For example, we may get a logo in a project’s README or on its website, or direct help with an issue.
To be transparent, sometimes a perk is part of the reason we decide to sponsor a project. It may even be what prompts us to start a sponsorship. But it is not the only reason. We sponsor projects whose work we value and want to see succeed. For some projects, the perks matter. For others, they are not the main reason we contribute.
Some of these projects are tools we use and rely on to build ScreenshotOne. By sponsoring them, we hope to help their maintainers continue their work and keep the projects healthy. Others are simply projects or maintainers whose work we value and want to support.
As ScreenshotOne grows, we hope our contributions can grow with it.
Why publish this?
Publishing these numbers might look like virtue signaling. That is a risk we can live with. Supporting open source feels like the right thing to do, so we try not to overthink it.
If this page encourages even one more founder to sponsor projects they rely on or find valuable, that is a win for us.
