The website should have a prominent Donate section, maybe have some tiers of donation like the Ladybird browser does.

I wanted to put a little £ towards the project but couldn't see a place to do it.

Donated. Thank you and everyone else on the PyPy team.

I use PyPy regularly on an app of mine, and very often when I need to do some compute heavy load. Typically over 5x faster than CPython. It makes some stuff that takes impossibly long with CPython (nobody wants to wait 5 minutes...), to returning a response in a few seconds.

Another suggestion to add for you all (IDK how helpful.) When I see PyPy I see that its speed is faster for CPU-bound work but I'm thinking there is also I/O bound work that would see significant increases in the load they can handle. You could host a page that benchmarks common tasks like HTTP req/s (different types) with asyncio vs CPython. Could even have an automated tool that allows projects to benchmark performance from a web-page using PyPi without having to install or measure anything.

Also big notice that it is unmaintained
