More funding, especially recurring donations, would really help me work more reliable on maintaining the Search API module for its 150,000+ users.
Even though the Search API is in the top 20 of Drupal projects (according to the official numbers) I am the sole maintainer and almost entirely unpaid. (I got some sponsoring from drupalbliss.com in 2025, but before that only a handful of small donations since 2015.)
In an attempt to get some funding for the Search API module, I now created a GitHub Sponsors profile:
github.com/sponsors/dru...
If you or your company are using the Search API module, please consider becoming a sponsor, and please spread the word!
Very happy that the fine folks at drupalbliss.com are now sponsoring my #drupal OpenSource work on #search_api & Co.
I think the last time I got paid for general maintenance work on my modules (apart from a small donation every couple of years) was www.drupal.org/visitors-voice – back in 2014-15.
