Love the idea! Shopify as the highest tier sponsor? Not so much.

I’m curious what issue you see with that? It seems like the project is only accepting unrestricted donations, but is there something suspicious about shopify that makes it’s involvement concerning (I don’t know much about them)?

My best guess would be that Shopify either care about the open Web or had some disagreements with Google.
I can’t find anything shady on them, but maybe I’m looking the wrong places.

My guess is they just want a high value backlink for their SEO performance 😉

While controversial, I think it’s more a product of how insane US “politics” are.
They could be good guys even so.
