Become a sponsor to Francis Lapointe
Hi there! I'm Francis, a PhD student in hydrology and developer of Wispar! During my master's degree, I struggled with my literature reviews and to keep up with new research in my field. I decided to make Wispar to help me stay updated with the latest research. While other apps did similar things, I wasn't satisfied with their privacy policies, their always online requirements or UI/UX.
Sponsoring helps cover the ongoing infrastructure and platform costs, and allows me to continue improving Wispar and get motivated!
Currently, Wispar costs:
| Expense | Monthly cost | Yearly cost |
|---|---|---|
| Google play developer account | $25.00 USD (one time) ~34.28 CAD | - |
| Apple developer account | $8.25 USD (~$13 CAD) | $99.00 USD (~$158.44 CAD including taxes) |
| Cloudflare domain (wispar.app) | ~$0.91 USD ($1.24 CAD) | ~10.87 USD ($14.91 CAD) |
| Hetzner VPS (cloud sync) | $4.09 USD (~$5.61 CAD) | $49.08 USD (~$67.32 CAD) |
| Protonmail (email service for cloud sync) | ~$4.55 USD ($6.24 CAD) | ~$54.60 USD ($74.88 CAD) |
| Total | $17.80 USD ($26.09 CAD) | $213.55 USD ($315.55 CAD) |
Reaching this goal will offset the cost of developing Wispar, as well as ensure the iOS app and the hosted cloud sync remains free for everyone!
