  Totally out of the loop here. What who where?

  DHH is a millionaire, so I don’t think he cares. He’s also just one of many in the Rails project.

  Instead of Framework, what else can you recommend?

    There’s a whole list of things with DHH with FW, there are plenty of details so I’m not going through the whole thing.

    For open hardware? MNT.

  Where did you find they’re still giving money to rails?

  I came across this blog post on sponsorships, which I find a bit difficult to parse, but it doesn’t appear as if they’ve given anymore after the initial support.

    Railsworld sponsorship, which is still massively outsizing most other support. What I don’t see is any more of the constant posts about Omarchy, which is a net improvemen but still not at the spot I personally want to see.

      I understand that it’s about the Rails World 2025 donation, but where do you see they’re still supporting Rails?

        Its in the list in the 2026 blog post. Since there are no dates in the columns, to me that shows as “this year’s list of assigned donations”.

        Because:

        You can see our full set of our sponsorships in the table below. As always, let us know of any other organizations you believe we should sponsor!

    I do cringe just a tad at “We don’t partner based on individuals’ or organizations’ beliefs, values, or political stances outside of their alignment with us on increasing the adoption of open source software.” Mentioned here, but they do appear to do some research:

    On Hyprland specifically, we were aware that there was past toxicity and controversy in their community, so we did research into it before deciding if we could sponsor the project. What we found was that there were past failures in moderation early in the creation of the project that had resulted in a toxic community, that the project lead vaxry had overhauled moderation years ago as a result, and that the community as it currently stands does not represent the one in which the issues occurred.

    Though I cannot attest as to whether this clears anything/everything.
