It depends how you look at it.
Workload wise, of course disroot is taking more and more time as it matures and grows. It's also (as we mention in the blog post) our onw fault to keep pushing with 120% of power instead of doing it a bit more calmly. We work on disroot in continuous development.

...So apart from regular maintained, we also work on improvements constantly in two week periods, no weekends, no days off, constant grind. This has it's benefits but recently started causing a burnout and the feeling of being overwhelmed and not able to keep up with the tempo.

That said, seeing how much time we spent on disroot (some of us clock over 40 hours a week on disroot), and how much we are pationate about it, it's no suprise we would like to turn it into our main occupation. Living two (and in some cases three or four) lifes is very exhausting. Doing two full time jobs in one day is exhausting.

In order to push the project to another level and keep the project healthy we do need to find a way to fund our work while not hindering principles we stand behind.
