Really interesting to read your experience. It seem it's slowly launching, but it's going in the right path, congrats :)
Definitively the open source ecosystem is not finacially healthy, but your exploring new way to achieve that and it look promising. Could we see a world where the majority of developers will work for open source and can live from it ? I hope so !
Do you know why people are sponsoring you ? For some of your projects (your books ?), or for contribution for external repo ?
Also, I've created and maintained textlint.
It is similar to ESLint but it is for natural languages.
In specially, Japanese tech company use this linter.
Also, many open source use this linter.
