This model feels the most appropriate for the project. Releases are spaced out pretty far apart, every 6 months to a year. I have chosen the 'per creation' model in Patreon so payments will be 'per release', not 'per month'. The money will be used to acquire new cameras for testing and integrating in the capture module, upgrades to my development machine and a code-signing certificate for improving the security of releases. Kinovea takes a fair amount of time and energy and I appreciate every bit of support! I have a full time job and work on Kinovea during my spare time. I have been working on this project in some shape or form since 2004, and I'm blown away that over the years it has been downloaded more than a million times, used by thousands of athletes, coaches, students, physical therapists and is cited in hundreds of research papers! Kinovea is supported by users via Patreon.
