Nice job my friend. Your work will not be underappreciated.
Is the project well funded? If not long-term are there ideas to raise funds from the community?
We are Swarm, Hive-on and it's a pleasure to meet you😀

It's not well-funded. That's the point of this post, to ask for funding through the Decentralized Hive Fund system to which he linked
I figured, but I was referring to long-term ideas for HPS, like asking for a percentage on posts, etc. Anything except adding ads.
Asking for funding is not the same thing as finding ways to generate funding.😀
I don't know what "finding bootstrap funding" means!
It means that the platform earns enough profit to fund itself and development indefinitely all on its own.
Ah, I see. Well, Hive.io is not compatible with the for-profit model because it's just a front for the Hive blockchain. The only possibility I see is if it allows paid registrations to the Steem blockchain, but free registrations are being developed, sooo, I don't see a way. Do you have any ideas on how there could be self-funding profit from the website?
Sure, first a voluntary donation selection with a percentage slider in the article formatter like how you can select your payout %, would probably earn quite a bit. I'd accept both Steem and Hive at first.
The other option would be to take a percentage of each article that's not voluntarty, like Busy and Dtube do.
I think these two are the most feasible to start right off, but of course prefer voluntary donation over a manditory fee.
Then we'd have to see how much it brings in and add more options if not enough.
That's exactly what the HPS is about. You provide value to Hive and get paid in return via the DAF/DAO (however you want to call it). :)
