App idea for Linux: An app where I set a regular amount that I want to donate each week/month, and then it locally and privately logs how much time I spend using the different apps on my machine and distributes the money accordingly.
With different options to blacklist some apps, weigh some apps more than others, always give X amount to some apps regardless of use, also give to things that won't be tracked (like the DE), etc.

@tykayn Agreed. The automatic donation part of this idea will be very, very hard indeed to implement. But it would be really cool if someone would make an app that just does the tracking part and gives you some nice looking statistics and tells you how much you should donate to each project according to how much you want to give each time period.
The stats part might even create some hype, just looks for example at how popular it is to share that Spotify Wrapped thing each year.

to track data about what you use, use #arbtt.
it will be very useful to output what you use and how much. you can then get statistics and make the gifts accordingly. that would be a good first step :)
