While it's not enough to generate a stable income, faker.js has received over $20k in donations through Open Collective. It's more than most other projects -- but I guess nowhere near what one could get if a big corporation wanted to sponsor the continued development of the project.
I was trying to find Marak's motives for this, but I couldn't find much, does anyone know more?
On his Twitter Marak is claiming [1] that GitHub/NPM have suspended his account, which is an interesting move, but I guessing that that's the only tool available to prevent further "sabotage".

I'd like to recommend Amethyst [1], it's a window manager that takes control of all windows, compared to Spectacle where you have to "move" each window automatically.
I've been using Amethyst for multiple years at this point, and it has been great for my workflow.
