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

    I mean if they're gonna give money without demanding anything I'm sure no complaints from the devs.

    Shopify or an exec there might find some value in avoiding Google owning the web, could maybe bring goodwill for the company, or they could just be looking for a write off.

    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.
