looking for ideas to monetize pinkary—any suggestions? something that doesn’t compromise its simplicity

I'd be curious the goals of the project as that influences the monetization strategy. If it's to get big and keep many salaries going plus more that's going to be a different strategy vs leaning on open source engineering and keeping enough cash to keep the lights on, rainy day fund, and pay for salaries/hourly as they are needed.

I think @nicbvs is on to something for getting started => pay for "fun" features, not functional ones similar to "boosts" in Discord.

All that said, I think there is one thing I've noticed about this community => they're willing to pay for great things.
