satchel.email › Support
Free to use, not free to run.
satchel.email has no ads, no subscription and no server holding your mail, so nothing pays for it except people who want it to keep going. If it's useful to you, you can sponsor it on GitHub.
What your sponsorship supports
satchel.email is one of several open-source projects by the same person, David Figatner. A GitHub sponsorship goes to me, not to one project, so it supports all of them:
This app: email, calendar and contacts that keep your mail on your own computer.
One editor for every kind of document (Word, PDF, Markdown, drawings) that keeps them as ordinary files in a folder.
A 2D camera for pixi.js with drag, pinch, zoom and follow. Now looked after by the pixi.js community.
Collision tests for 2D shapes: points, circles, ellipses, lines, boxes and polygons.
window-manager, tree, shape-points and many smaller libraries.
What it costs
None of these projects run servers that hold your data, and the websites are hosted free, so the costs are the names and the signatures that let you trust the download:
| Cost | Per year |
|---|---|
| Apple Developer ProgramSigning and notarizing the Mac apps, so macOS opens them without a warning and you know where they came from. | $99.00 |
| satchel.emailThe domain for this site and its email address. | $24.20 |
| golemdocs.comThe domain for Golem Docs. | $10.46 |
| yopeyopey.comThe site for YOPEY YOPEY, my studio, where the games and older projects live. | $10.46 |
| sewcrates.comMy writing, including posts about these projects. | $10.46 |
| Total | $154.58 |
When a new cost starts, it's added here.
Where the money goes
Sponsorships pay the costs above first. Anything beyond them pays for time spent on these projects. GitHub takes no fee on sponsorships from personal accounts.
These projects are maintained by one person, not a charity, so sponsorships aren't tax-deductible.
