Sponsorship updates
React Navigation currently has a monthly budget of $1,073.61 USD. Our most recent payout from GitHub sponsors was $1,192.91 USD per month, minus OpenCollective fees of $59.65 (5% "host fee") and $59.65 (5% "Open Collective fee").
Our goal with sponsors is to get to the point where we can cover the cost of having someone work half time on the project continuously. We're not there yet, and we're still pretty far from it - to be blunt, I'm a bit surprised we haven't seen more sponsorships given the widespread usage of React Navigation in the React Native community (around 75% of the download count of the React Native package on npm, with 311,944 downloads to 416,493 for React Native). We greatly appreciate the support from those who have sponsored us so far.
We'll keep working towards this goal, and until then we'll explore other options for how we can use the sponsorships to make React Navigation even better.
