It's funny because recently there was some drama around Rocket Chat with release 6.5.0. They introduced a new "free" tier in addition to the "community" version where the latter introduced a user limit of 25. During the upgrade to 6.5.0 existing Rocket installations also were switched to the new "free" tier and thus got the new user limit. It was possible to uncheck some boxes to get back to "community" but it caused a lot of confusion among Rocket users/admins. https://github.com/RocketChat/Rocket.Chat/issues/31149 As of yet notifications ("up to 10,000 free monthly push notifications") are still free on the community version, though, as far as I know. Not that I necessarily want to promote Rocket.

As someone who doesn't have enough technical expertise to build the features in open source projects an active donor to projects I support this kind of idea. I wouldn't call it a bounty though, more like gofundme for certain features. In some cases i'd pay $1000+ for some features to be built, and ideally others would join me. Here's an example of a feature I'd want to financially contribute to that has a lot of support: https://github.com/RocketChat/Rocket.Chat/issues/2049 From my perspective it is the killer feature that enables me to switch from slack, saving my business hundreds of dollars a month. I can't just "hire a developer to do it" - the best deal would be if one of the existing contributors did it. Also, some open sources struggle with funding and priorities - I'm sure there's features out there where the community would commi

Hundreds of organizations, including ours, rely on Rocket.Chat for their internal messaging. It all went down when a release was pushed and snap decided to auto-update [1] I can imagine it resulted in a huge loss of productivity at all these orgs in the Covid era. Just learnt from this thread that apt-install will install snap! I'm running Ubuntu 18.04 + i3 (Dell Developer Edition) but will change to Debian.
