Lukewarm take: using tabs instead of spaces isn't hard at all if you have a well-behaving editor. In my experience of a week now, it makes the resizing of code even a bit easier (you can make its width two spaces in more narrow views and expand it to four in larger ones). It sucks that it's hard to do this with Python. TBH it seems like it was a mistake for PEP8 to recommend (and in a way, enforce) the use of spaces. A bit of a "heated" discussion at https://stackoverflow.com/questions/120926/why-does-python-pep-8-strongly-recommend-spaces-over-tabs-for-indentation

As was mentioned, Tidelift is generally pitched at bigger orgs, so I'd recommend reaching out to see if it's worthwhile.

(I'm a Tidelift maintainer)

There's also things like https://stackaid.us or https://thanks.dev that may be easier to onboard to
