Why donate?
I love typing through the Bible and when I created TTW, I wanted to make it easier for myself and others to do so consistently. So far 770 people have typed 357123 verses!
My goal has always been to keep the project free and accessible to everyone, but running a website costs money. Your contributions will go directly to supporting the hosting costs of TTW.
If you would like to contribute to it's continued hosting into the future I would much appreciate the support.
What does the money go towards?
Here is a breakdown of what your donation will help cover.
| Item | Monthly cost |
|---|---|
| Digital Ocean Database This is where all the data is stored for TTW. This is a managed database which ensures that if I accidentally delete data it can be recovered. | $11 (50% of $22/month) * |
| Vercel Pro This is where the website is hosted. | $10 (50% of $20/month) * |
| Google Workspace This is how I communicate with you all through josh@typetheword.site. I set this up because I was thinking the project could scale to multiple contributors. Long term, if it doesn't, I'm planning to switch back to my personal email to save on costs. | $8 |
| Domain This is the cost of having the typetheword.site domain. | $2.20 ($26.48/year) |
* I have a few side projects and some of these services are shared accross them, so that's where the 50% comes from.
