I'd be open to either one-time or (probably better for all involved - smaller up-front number for donor, and it's a more stable stream of income for Gordon) monthly donation of some sort. I can also see potential in Gordon offering paid support deals (though his support is so vigorous now anyway, that I don't know if that would be enough of a draw - unless this was targeted at commercial customers who are using Espruino in products).
What draws people to the ESP8266 is that it's wifi, and it's cheap - it's very appealing for someone who wants small projects. Once they're using the ESP8266 as a wifi adapter, it immediately begs the question - can I just lose the other microcontroller and use just the ESP?
Espruino is a JavaScript interpreter for low-power Microcontrollers. This site is both a support community for Espruino and a place to share what you are working on.
