I just learned about https://www.grantfortheweb.org/
They are hoping to fund an ad-free internet driven by micropayments. I think our ZapRead goals align well here :)
Looks like the applications for grants open up sometime in 2020. It would be amazing to get some grant funding to hire some devs!
"Better business models for the web
Grant for the Web will spark a healthier internet built on open standards, giving people more independence and control over how they distribute and monetize content, and generating better business models for the web"the idea of Zapread.
