2025 has been an incredible year for Gleam adoption, but sadly not for funding, with GitHub sponsorship dropping ~10%. It's not a disaster as we're careful with finances, but it's not a good trend.
How can we do better at turning users into supporters?
A sufficiently funded ecosystem benefits all!

Hopefully more to come soon!
