MuffinManKen is creating World of Warcraft Addons
5
patrons
$17
per monthIn 2010, one of my favourite addons, AutoBar, stopped being developed because the author stopped playing. I contacted the original author and he handed the project over to me. AutoBar relies heavily on LibPeriodicTable and the maintainers of it had either moved on or just become much less active, so I took over most of the maintenance on that. You might be seeing a pattern here. :)
I now look after 7 addons:
Maintaining these takes a lot of time and effort. Many of them need constant updates to keep up with new/changed content in World of Warcraft. To be able to justify putting in the amount of effort required for these addons, I need to be able to take time away from my job and that means finding a way to make some money from these efforts.
These addons are free and will always be free which makes it very difficult to earn any money, so I am turning to Patreon. I would love to keep working on these addons (and adopting more abandoned ones), but I need your help. If you find these addons helpful, please consider becoming a Patron.

$17 of $20 per month
This is the minimum I need to be able to cover my subscription and be able to justify devoting any time to working on addons.
