Sponsor

Keep the engine free

Kadal Deck's engine is open source under the AGPL, so anyone can write, present and self-host decks with it at no cost. The hosted service pays for most of the work; sponsors pay for the rest: time on issues, docs, new framework islands and the features you ask for.

Or choose your own amount on GitHub.

Other ways to help

Star the repository: it is how most people find it.
Report a bug with a small deck.mdx that shows it, or answer someone else's issue.
Present with it and share the deck; tell us, and we may add it to the showcase.
Write an island for a framework we don't cover yet, or improve the docs.
Use the hosted service for decks you publish: the plans pay for the engine too.

Questions

About sponsoring

How does paying work?

Through GitHub Sponsors, on the same bill as anything else you pay GitHub for. Sponsorships from a personal account reach us in full; GitHub charges organisations up to 6%, or 3% when they pay by invoice. You can change your tier or stop at any time on GitHub.

Can I sponsor without being listed?

Yes. Choose a private sponsorship on GitHub and we never show your name, avatar or logo anywhere, whatever the tier.

Does sponsoring give me a hosted plan?

No. Sponsorships fund the open-source engine and plans pay for the hosted service; the two are kept apart, so the engine never gains features only sponsors can use.

Is a sponsorship tax-deductible?

No. Kadal is a business run by one person in India, not a charity, so a sponsorship is a payment for the perks of its tier rather than a donation.

We build a product on the engine. Is sponsoring the same as a commercial licence?

No. Sponsoring supports the project; a commercial licence removes the AGPL's obligation to publish your changes when you run a modified engine as a service. Write to us if you need the licence.
