Sharing this because it’s one of the most promising Android projects we recommend on Privacy Guides, and it would be a huge detriment to the Android/Privacy community at large if this developer is no longer able to continue this work :(
Happy New Year!
DivestOS and the Divested projects as they currently stand are ultimately unsustainable.
My goal for 2023 was to acquire a grant to continue my work, I was unsuccessful.
Today I am announcing a fundraiser of raising $12,000 USD by end of February.
It may be a stretch to ask, but I hope you all have found sufficient value in my work to keep these projects going.
If it is unsuccessful I will switch to a full-time job and the Divested projects will take a backseat.
To those who have donated, I truly appreciate your support.
Thank you - Tavi/Tad.
This was a big concern in the Kuketz review. The whole project is basically one guy. Now this guy needs 12k in the next 7 weeks to keep going.
Divest is an amazing project and dealing with these costs is a major issue for any small business. Hoping for the best!
Donated. If you don’t reach the goal, hopefully it helps out in someway.
