Is there anyone interested in funding a Reddit alternative?

Design Preview: https://ift.tt/XQM6acl As many of you know, Reddit has had some issues with their 3PA developers by raising API prices. This has sparked alot of interest in an alternative. I recently spoke with someone who offered to help with the project, and I think right now the biggest hurdle is the figma design (courtesy of setproduct) still needs to be implemented into the old reddit source code, and a .com domain is needed, but this is a start at least. The figma design was purchased from Setproduct, and the source code is coming from the reddit archive, but more specifically saidit github repo. Both elements will need to be worked on, but its a slow and steady progress. Hosting costs also seem like a concern. The old reddit source code will need to be refactored and the dependencies updated as well as stripe implementation to get it all to work for subscriptions. All these things need to be integrated together to work, and a .com domain that is short needs to be purchased. But so far so good. Given all of this, here is a preview of the design: https://ift.tt/XQM6acl If anyone here is interested in helping, please feel free to comment below. :) Thank you!
