What isValue for Value?^*

The Value-for-Value model allows anyone to use the complete app and invites those who benefit from it to return useful value through their Time, Talent, or Treasure. That support helps fund continued development, infrastructure, and community growth while keeping Bot Commander’s priorities aligned with its users.
