How Can I Support Bionus's Work?

Updated

You can support Bionus's work through Patreon. The bionus.org site lists a Patreon link under the heading "Where you can support my work," alongside links to Bionus's GitHub and the Imgbrd-Grabber project. If you want to contribute money, Patreon is the route the site points to; if you want to contribute code, documentation, or bug reports, GitHub is the route.

What bionus.org actually is

The site is a placeholder page, not a product or storefront. Its own text says: "This website is just a placeholder for the time being." So don't expect pricing tiers, feature comparisons, or a checkout flow here — the page exists mainly to point visitors to three destinations.

The three links on the page

Destination What the page says it's for Use it when
Imgbrd-Grabber "Very customizable imageboard/booru browser and mass downloader, with powerful filenaming features" You want the software itself
GitHub "Where all my open-source projects are hosted and where anyone can contribute, suggest improvements, or report issues" You want to file an issue, suggest an improvement, or send code
Patreon "Where you can support my work" You want to provide financial support

Supporting via Patreon

The page offers no detail beyond the link and the phrase "Where you can support my work." It does not state tiers, amounts, perks, or billing terms. To find out what a given level actually includes, open the Patreon page and read the current tiers there — that's the only place those specifics would be defined.

One practical note: the site does not describe Patreon as required for anything. Nothing on the page suggests that supporting on Patreon unlocks the software, removes limits, or grants access to a private build. Treat it as voluntary support for ongoing development, not as a purchase.

Supporting without paying

GitHub is the page's stated channel for non-financial contributions: contributing code, suggesting improvements, and reporting issues. That covers the common cases — a bug you hit in Imgbrd-Grabber, a feature you'd like to see, or a fix you've written yourself.

A reasonable order of operations

  1. Open the Imgbrd-Grabber link if you haven't used the project yet — supporting something you don't use is hard to justify.
  2. If you hit a bug or want a feature, go to GitHub first. That's where the page says issues and suggestions belong.
  3. If you want to give money rather than time, follow the Patreon link and check the tiers on Patreon itself, since bionus.org doesn't list them.

Common snags

  • Expecting a full site. The page is explicitly a placeholder, so there's no documentation, changelog, or download page hosted on bionus.org itself.
  • Looking for support terms on the site. They aren't there. Any tier details live on Patreon.
  • Assuming Patreon is the only way to help. It isn't — GitHub is the page's other named channel, and it's the one aimed at code and issue reports.
