I've been thinking about how to crowdsource funding for the continual development of NostrGram and it's hardware costs (which will be rising soon as Nostr grows in popularity -- 150gb in bandwidth used so far this month!). I'm thinking of doing something like a Patreon where people can support the project and get a badge on their profile (if they want) showing their support, along with a higher priority for feature requests, that kind of thing.

If you are willing to support NostrGram in this way, what kind of benefits would be nice to have for doing so? I'm all for value-for-value, so those willing to pony up even a few dollars a month/year in support of the project certainly deserve some preferential treatment and priority.

I want to keep all the features free for everyone if at all possible. Some folks simply can't afford it. I get a lot of traffic from a lot of countries.

NOSTR is to empower users not to empower software. keep it simple and you will win. I dont understand why a client is consuming so much bandwidth if connection.pushing and getting events are on client side yo should keep it more simple .... It remembers me the oldie classic marketing tricks as oldie social media products did. Good luck.
