Ask HN: How can I monetise an open source app of mine that has become popular?

One of my open source projects is starting to get a lot of traction (tens of thousands of users per month) without me realising. I built it a few years ago as a weekend project and promptly forgot about it.

I was contacted by a large company last week asking for changes to be made. This prompted me to go check the DB, analytics etc and I see its being used a lot.

I've (as of today) stuck a sponsorship link on it. Any suggestions as to how else I can monetise?
