Hello, this is Devon from the GitHub Sponsors Team! It’s been incredibly motivating for us to see the outpouring of enthusiasm for the launch and to hear your ideas for where you’d like to see it go from here. We’re just getting started, and your input is important to keep us going in the right direction.
