GitHub Sponsors has been announced during Github Satellite at Berlin May 23rd. It is a new way for open source developers to collect donation from the community.

For javascript open source developers maintaining npm packages, there is a simple way to increase awareness of sponsorship.

The npm package github-sponsors allows open source maintainers to print a post-install message easily for their packages. github-sponsors is using FUNDING.yml to retrieve the information and displaying it to the user.

When a user will install your packages, a simple message will appear.



With the package, I created a small website. I'm hoping to provide useful information about the different funding model platforms an open source developer can use with GitHub. It could be a good resource for someone looking for sponsors.

I don't know a lot about some of the platforms supported in the FUNDING.yml file. If anyone wants to add information, below is the link to the repository.
