Stephane Boucher proposes a Kickstarter-style crowdfunding model for technical articles targeting the embedded/EE community. The idea: potential authors submit abstracts, readers pledge small amounts (around $1–$2) to back articles they want written, and once a funding target is reached, the author writes and gets paid while the article is published freely. Community feedback in the comments discusses optimal pledge amounts, author reputation systems, payment logistics via PayPal, and comparisons to Patreon. The post is essentially a community consultation before building the platform.
