Please Consider a Financial Contribution

I originally wrote Typica to help me with my work as a coffee roaster, to help me be more efficient, make fewer mistakes, and have faster access to the data I was generating so that I could make better business decisions. Typica has succeeded fantastically in these goals and I hope you find that it helps you in these areas as well. Typica was made free and open source not with the hope that others would contribute code (as of this writing nobody has), but to get this tool into the hands of as many professional coffee roasters as possible. This opens up lines of communication where I learn about the needs of other organizations in the industry and results in bug reports, feature requests, and questions that help me identify where Typica could be easier to use. All of these help make Typica a better tool for everybody. While Typica is free and will remain so, ongoing development and distribution of the software is not without cost. Making a financial contribution can help offset these costs and allows me to consider features that I would not be able to subsidize myself.

Any funding beyond the minimum required to cover costs such as web hosting and development infrastructure maintenance (things like replacement parts on computers that build the Typica binaries) can be used for several purposes. This could be used to acquire samples of hardware so Typica can support more types of data acquisition hardware. It could be used to upgrade development infrastructure to make getting new releases out faster and easier. With enough funding I could even hire someone to pick up some of the development work. There are many features that I think we would all like to see in Typica that I simply have not had the time to develop. Additional funding can help with this.

You can make a small (as little as a quarter but larger gifts are also appreciated) weekly recurring gift through Gittip. This sort of stable ongoing base funding allows for better planning of expenses.

Another option is mailing a check payable to Neal Wilson to:

This option is better suited to larger one time contributions. People or businesses who choose this option and send at least $100 have the option to be credited in the About Typica window in new releases for one year from receiving this contribution. Please include a note on how you would like that credit to appear.

Please note that I am unable to accept money through PayPal.
