What

  • README: replaces the single buy me a coffee line buried at the bottom with a real Sponsors section placed right after Who's Using This — open 🥇/🥈/🥉 placeholder slots ("your logo here") linking to GitHub Sponsors, a pitch line built on the real number (1.6M+ npm installs/month), Sponsor + Buy-me-a-coffee buttons, and a ❤ Sponsor badge in the header badge row. The old bottom section becomes a short Support ReactUse note for individuals.
  • reactuse.com/sponsor (en / zh-Hans / zh-Hant): the one-line page becomes a full conversion page — why sponsor (installs, production users, 100k+ monthly search impressions), tier table matching the existing GitHub Sponsors tiers ($500 Gold / $150 Silver / $50 Bronze / $5 Backer), 48h logo turnaround, GitHub-issued invoices, one-time options, and a direct-contact email for custom deals.
  • llms.txt / llms-full.txt: prebuild-regenerated during the verification build. The diff also catches up stale useCookie doc content (the snapshot was last generated in May) — generated files, not hand edits.

Why

GitHub Sponsors is already set up with tiers that promise "logo on README", but the README had no sponsors section at all and no visible entry point — the promise looked unbacked and there was nothing to convert an interested company. Goal: maximize sponsor conversion using only real, verifiable claims (no fake sponsors).

Test plan

  • pnpm lint clean
  • pnpm --filter website-astro build — 483 pages built; /sponsor/, /zh-hans/sponsor/, /zh-hant/sponsor/ all render with correct titles and 5 sponsor links each
  • After merge: spot-check badge rendering on the GitHub README (shields.io emoji badges) in light + dark mode

Written with AI assistance (Claude Code); all claims verified against live data: npm API (1,619,824 downloads last month), GSC July report (111K impressions), existing GitHub Sponsors tiers.

…ier pages (en/zh-Hans/zh-Hant)

README previously buried a single buy-me-a-coffee line at the very bottom
while the GitHub Sponsors tiers (Gold/Silver/Bronze) promised README logo
placement that did not exist anywhere. Add a real Sponsors section with
open Gold/Silver/Bronze placeholder slots, a 1.6M installs/month pitch,
and a Sponsor badge in the header; rewrite the one-line sponsor.md into a
full pitch page (tiers, reach stats, invoicing, contact) in all 3 locales.

llms.txt / llms-full.txt are prebuild-regenerated; the diff also catches
up stale useCookie doc content generated since the last snapshot.

Gold tier promises top-of-README placement; put the section right under
the badges (VueUse-style) so the slots sit above the fold.

… API on sponsor pages)

Replace the hardcoded 1.6M+ figure: the README Sponsors section now shows
live npm installs/month and GitHub stars via shields.io, and the three
sponsor pages fetch api.npmjs.org client-side, falling back to the static
figure when unreachable.
