Why HN links it
HN readers mostly link Encode's pages for its Python libraries (Databases, Typesystem, HTTPX) and a 2017 funding report, mentioning them as tools rather than discussing the writing.
Summarised by Claude from a sample of 5 HN comments that link here. Each comment is marked recommending, critical or neutral (citing without judging); how this works.

What Hacker News says?
The Django Rest Framework library has taken this very approach [1] offering both corporate and individual monthly subscriptions which is then used to fund development. It appears to be quite successful in that it's allowed the lead developer to work on the project full time (at a salary of £50k [2]).
