Support Your Foundation

My GitHub account hosts more than 60 projects. I would estimate that 90% of these are built using the same handful of packages: Django, requests, PostgreSQL, etc. These projects often share common infrastructure as well.

I’ve created a simple script that can analyze your ‘requirements.txt’ file and inform you if there’s a funding page on PyPI for the corresponding project.

If you visit https://github.com/sponsors/explore, you can see the dependencies of your public repositories that you can sponsor.

Are there any other methods to support these developers or projects in an easy or fast way?
