Makoto

Makoto is the independent creator behind the unofficial SauceNao Twitter and Discord bots, launched in June 2020. These bots offer free, community-driven access to reverse image search functionality, expanding the reach of SauceNao's core service. The project, entirely open-source (with code available on GitHub: https://github.com/FujiMakoto/), has garnered a significant following, boasting over 213 members and a dedicated community of 4 paid patrons. While not directly affiliated with SauceNao, Makoto's project has demonstrably improved accessibility to this invaluable online tool. With modest financial support from patrons (earning between $12 and $60 monthly), Makoto continues to maintain and develop these helpful bots, illustrating the power of open-source collaboration and community contribution. Makoto's unique approach lies in providing a readily accessible and free-to-use alternative that complements the official SauceNao service.
