Note: We were moving with my wife in March so in Feb-March period so most of my excess time was going to related tasks. I was receiving more funding than I was able to work for. So after March, I have 11.34 hours of sponsorship left, not yet used. This will be used in April, Lord willing.

Observations:

• 👍Support has been increased significantly in last 3 months. I feel blessed about this development, and very happy to see that there are other people sharing the (financial) burden of AndBible development with me!
• 👍New cool features that sponsorship has enabled me to do: NextCloud support for device sync and custom icons for bookmarks.
• 👎Total support has still room for improvement (goal is 4 full working days per month)

Breakdown of tasks (2024-2025)

Here is the breakdown how paid hours were used:

Paid tasks	Q1/2024	Q2/2024	Q3/2024	Q4/2024	Q1/2025
Support	1.48	5.42	7.28	7.35	3.0
Maintenance	0.92	14.57	6.25	8.03	6.9
Feature	0	15.05	0.00	0.09	30.3
Reviewing contributor’s code	0	0	2.28	4.02	0
Total	2.4	35.04	16.40	19.40	40.2

In other words, in Q1 statistics look like this:

• Support (help.andbible@gmail.com email mainly): 3.0 hours = 7.5%
• Maintenance tasks (bug fixing etc): 6.9 hours = 17.2 %
• New feature development: 30.3 hours = 75.4 %
• Reviewing contributor’s code: 0 hours = 0 %

Some analysis/remarks:

• Due to special period (moving etc.) I was not having a lot of time for almost anything. Still because of some significant sponsorships, I wanted to spend some time in feature development. During this period I was clearly neglecting support (in fact, people are still waiting for replies when I’m writing this).
• I believe that things from my point of view are normalizing in Q2/2025. Though feature development is having priority as I think that’s what sponsors want me to do most.

Closing words

I want to thank every AndBible sponsor for making it possible to keep the app well maintained, supported and developing. I am very happy to see that there are other people sharing the (financial) burden of AndBible development with me!
