- When I reach 250 sponsors, another half of my repositories will be released to public.
- If you Request Access and Become A GitHub Sponsor you will get everytime directly access to the source code & projects I release.
- After becoming a sponsor, you should get an invitation via email to the private repository, if the invite doesn't come instantly - wait some time.
Sponsorware means that new source code projects are released publicly if a specific target is met by the community, in the meantime existing sponsors can already access these new source code projects.
Let's say the target is to reach 250 more sponsors on GitHub. If this target is met, all the new uploaded projects are made public so that everyone in the community can access them. After this a new target will be created for all future projects.
3 Advantages Of Sponsorware
- The Source Code is in longterm Open-Source & "We have Free Education" for all the people.
- The Content Creators don't need to create primarily Private Courses to finance them.
- The Content Creators can fully focus on providing free education on open platforms such as YouTube for their community.
I strongly believe that "Sponsorware" is the future for all Software Content Creators. Next to selling high specialized courses, Sponsorware is for us as content creators important so that we have another income stream that helps us to support the mission of free education on YouTube instead of focusing primarily on selling private courses and making knowledge & education closed for a small priviliged group of people. I am convinced that in longterm YouTube will become a platform where you get EVERY IMAGINABLE CONTENT for free because more content creators are producing free & high quality content for a specific niche such as Flutter.
- I set a target for the community f.e. to reach 250 new sponsors.
- I am going to upload new Flutter projects that will be all private, however sponsors can still access all projects at every time.
- If the target of f.e. 250 new sponsors is reached, half of my private projects will be made public.

The source code is available! To get the source code, you need to request the source code first and you also need to fill the form. See for more details below A.
A. Request Source Code
You need to request the source code first and you also need to fill the form. (see image below)
After filling the form you should receive a confirmation email that you need to confirm. Simply click on the button "Confirm Your Subscription" within the email.
Check out also your spam folder, in case you didn't receive this confirmation email. Alternatively search for the email subject "Request Access: Confirm Your Email" within your email client. Also, in case the email goes to your spam folder, the subscription link might not be clickable therefore simple move the mail out of your spam into the inbox and try again to click on the button.
Once the community target of f.e. 250 new sponsors is reached, half of my private projects will be made public. All people that have requested the source code and have not become a sponsor yet, will be informed that the source code of some of the private projects are publicly available now.
In case you don't want to wait until the source code becomes publicly available in the future simply Request Access and Become A GitHub Sponsor so that you get everytime directly access to all the projects & source codes I release.
The access link is working! First of all, you need to accept the invitation from GitHub. Simply go to https://github.com/orgs/JohannesMilke-Sponsors/invitation?via_email=1 and accept the invitation. After this, you will have access to all GitHub repositories.
