 ## Donating
-While mstdn-ebooks is currently feature complete, I still maintain it and fix critical issues. I also work on software other than mstdn-ebooks, and provide a few free services (OCRbot, FediBooks...) for people to use. If you'd like to help cover the costs of these projects, please consider donating.
+Please don't feel obligated to donate at all.
