I didn't put too much thought on that yet but maybe something around 1200000 sats (~$400) / month would be enough to cover the hours spent on development.
Id rather pay $400 so you can contribute to Stacker.news site directly. I don't see the point for an app.

That's unfortunate. You just don't know any better. Good native apps are orders of magnitude faster and smoother than web apps.
Also, you don't need to rely on an app store to download native apps.

What about Apple?
Yeah, That is a problem. Apple guys will have to rely on the app store or build the app from source themselves. I'd choose the latter.
I don't know man, i've been using SN PWA for a month now, and i haven't noticed any issues regarding performance and smoothness
Performance issues are more noticeable when you are used to faster tools. I'm not saying that the Stacker News site is not well developed or something like that, I'm just saying that even the most well developed sites and web apps will suffer from performance issues because of browser bloat. People with good newer devices don't notice many issues but people using old weak devices might have a terrible user experience. That's my case and that's why I like small dedicated native tools instead of web apps.

@WeAreAllSatoshi if you are willing to contribute, please do not send any money yet. I need to make plans and organize a formal campaign before receiving any funds.

I’m not looking to contribute at this time. I was mostly asking for the larger audience to understand what you’re actually asking for here.
