The typical rate for a backend dev here is roughly $30 per hour and my latest proposal works out to the same $ value as my previous one so I thought it was a fair request given the amount of time spent on the project.
Yes I said I’d apply for the whole amount in one go but that was referring to that proposal, later in the comments I followed up to a question about future funding:
I appreciate the price of ZNN is at a low point and it would be great if it was higher but given the project is about to hit its one year anniversary I felt it was an appropriate time to submit a new proposal and would have done so regardless of the price.
