That's a shame, would love to know if "FLOSS fun" is legit or not. Seems like a mess.

not sure what the controversy here is receiving funding isn't the funder owning or hosting pocketbase ?

Is India really that backwards of a country that the author doesn't want to accept money from there?

USDC has been an option for nearly 10 years

You can circumvent international wire transfers for cheaper and faster

The same banks give less scrutiny to domestic transfers so just convert your international wires into domestic ones - from the domestic exchange to your domestic bank account

We’ve done that specifically with our Indian vendors and vice versa for 10 years

there are options that are stable and regulated, so there is absolutely no reason to appeal to the authority of an antiquated and onerous regulation

Pocketbase is such a smooth and easy-to-use database - great for people starting with web dev. I'm disappointed that it's not going to get the continued funding that it deserves.
