   #ShowerThoughts It would be cool if there was a fork of #FDroid where users could pay for an app, maybe using GNU Taler? Maybe we could install them gratis for a trial period, then when it ends, we're given the choice to either pay or uninstall.

      Alternatively, what if users paid a yearly subscription to have the app store installed? Then the money collected was shared out to app devs on the basis of how often their apps were installed, and maybe for how long. It could even send a portion of the royalties for each app to the maintainers of any upstream dependencies.

      I want a voluntary usage monitor / automatic donation system. Like a client-side patreon. Don't send my usage data anywhere but tally up what I rely on, including backend libraries, then let me review the breakdown and adjust as desired, and then have donation links for all the projects and let me set a bound of "donate x amount each timeframe" with it divyed up by the breakdown I signed off on for that analysis span.
