 ## EFF donations
 
 Prior to 2024-05-10, a portion of all donations were given to the [Electronic Frontier Foundation](https://www.eff.org/). Now, the app doesn't accept donations that go to me personally and instead directs you straight to the EFF. [Here](https://github.com/kieraneglin/pinchflat/issues/234) are some people that have generously donated.
