GNOME ☛ Steven Deobald: Donate Less
We have a new donation page. But before you go there, I would like to impress upon you this idea:
We would vastly prefer you donate $10/mo for one year ($120 total) than $200 in one lump sum. That’s counter-intuitive, so let me explain.
First of all, cash flow matters just as much to a non-profit as it does to a corporation. If a business only saw revenue once or twice a year — say, in the form of $300,000 cheques — it would need to be very careful with expenses, for fear of one of those cheques disappearing.
And so it is with non-profits. A non-profit built on chasing grants and begging for large cheques is inherently fragile. Financial planning that is based on big, irregular revenue sources is bound to fail sooner or later.

Jim Nielsen ☛ Transforming HTML With Netlify Edge Functions
I’ve long wanted the ability to create custom collections of icons from my icon gallery.
Today I can browse collections of icons that share pre-defined metadata (e.g. “Show me all icons tagged as blue”) but I can’t create your own arbitrary collections of icons.
