A way to "sponsor" a feature?

[dzek69]

Is your feature request related to a problem? Please describe.
I started developing an app using node gui few months ago, but I stopped when I bumped a problem I could not solve, because a needed QT binding is not ready yet.

While from high level perspective it seems to be a pretty quick fix - I'm too bad with any low level programming to be able to solve this myself and start a PR.

Also I expect to find more issues in the future, even that single one is fixed.

Describe the solution you'd like
I'd like to be able to "sponsor" a features I might need, so I can progress with building the application. There are some projects that helps organize such requests, but I don't remember any name. But a simple approach is just the question: Can I pay you to prioritize my needs?

Describe alternatives you've considered
Learning C++ 🤷🏻‍♂️

Which binding / API are we talking about here?

My current problem:

I want to write custom data into clipboard.

setData of QMimeData is now missing:

nodegui/src/cpp/include/nodegui/QtCore/QMimeData/qmimedata_wrap.h

Line 37 in 1b3478e

// Napi::Value setData(const Napi::CallbackInfo& info);

And QClipboard should of course support setMimeData

Still, that's just one thing, I could find more blockers in the future. I'd love to donate something each time you implement something that unblocks me :)

You can also give it a try yourself. QMimeData.ts, qmimedata_wrap.h, and qmimedata_wrap.cpp will need updates. setData() should take a node js Buffer for the data part instead of QByteArray. There is already a QPixmap.loadFromData() method out there which is very close to what you want to do for the C++ parts.
