I hate sponsorware concept OP is proposing. It seems to work for him but it’s opposite to the spirit of open source. His idea is that keep code secret until you find N sponsors. Further, he will hide important tutorials if you are not sponsor. I would hate to use this kind of open source project.
Here is more viable freelancing:
- create framework/library that everyone needs
- for feature requests/bug fixes, prioritize sponsors
- do office hours for sponsors
- invite sponsors/allow them to vote for future road map
