Insiders¶

Capawesome follows the sponsorware release strategy, that enables developers to be compensated for their open-source work with fewer downsides than traditional open-source funding models. This means that new plugins are first exclusively released to sponsors as part of Insiders.

What is Insiders?¶

As an Insider, you get access to a private npm registry that contains all sponsorware plugins.

Every plugin is tied to a funding goal in monthly subscriptions. When a funding goal is hit, the plugins that are tied to it are released for general availability, making them available to all users.

What's in it for me?¶

The moment you become an insider, you'll get immediate access to additional plugins that you can start using right away, and which are currently exclusively available to sponsors:

New plugins are added every other month. Be sure to come back.

FAQ¶

Access¶

Where can I find my license key?¶

To find your license key, follow these steps:

Navigate to the Subscriptions page on Polar, search for Capawesome and click on View Benefits.
Copy the license key from the Benefits section.

That's it! You can now use the license key to access the private npm registry. Please note that the license key is tied to your subscription and should NOT be shared with external parties.

Polar provides each sponsor with only one license key. We therefore recommend that teams sponsor Capawesome using a single team account and share the license key among the team members. However, it's NOT allowed to share the license key with external parties.

What happens if I cancel my subscription?¶

If you cancel your subscription, you will lose access to the private npm registry and the plugins that are part of Insiders. However, you may use the latest version that's available to you as long as you like.

Billing¶

How can I cancel my subscription?¶

You can cancel your subscription at any time by visiting the Subscriptions page on Polar and clicking the "Unsubscribe" button next to the subscription you want to cancel.
