"Now, if the patron system allows me to work on lichess full time, that's awesome - for me and for the site."
I agree. With Thibault working at Lichess full time I noticed everything works perfectly, no bugs at all, especially if the Firefox browser is used. Software developers with Thibault's skills can easily make $100,000 a year or more. So definitely a monthly donation is the way to go. And like everything else at Lichess, en.lichess.org/patron/list is easy to use.
I have to be able to live on my social security income so I can't afford much but still I recently started making a monthly payment. If almost everyone could contribute what they can every month that would be enough I think.
What a fantastic place this is. Everything is perfect, everything works perfectly, and the constant improvements are overwhelming.
Every chance I get I recommend lichess. Even people who don't know the rules would love lichess because this is the best place for getting started thanks to en.lichess.org/learn#/
