Drip

The picture they have selected wants to make me shut my laptop and just give up.

Kinda weird that they have the exact same shade of blue and monospace font as https://www.blackbox.cool.

Anyway, it's probably good for everyone that someone's trying to compete with Patreon -- market forces and all that.

I get a totally blank white page, though the source is there. It's rare a page doesn't work at all from PrivacyBager/uBlock.

Seems like a really bad name to me. "Hi, I'm a Drip! Won't you support my work!"

I can't imagine doing that even at my drippiest 17 year old self. I wonder how big of an issue it will be for them. *

I imagine they were thinking DRIP as in stock fund Dividend ReInvestment Program, but that doesn't really apply here. I could toss out a couple of other hypotheses, but, regardless of their reasoning, I just think the name is likely to be a liability.

* Watch me change my mind in a few months, sign up for the service and have this comment come back to bite me. ;)

Weird choice of name since there's an email service w/ the exact same name - https://www.drip.com/

Kickstarter version of Patreon ?

I assumed it was just a hip domain for drip.com

>We charge 5%, in addition to any fees from our payments partners.

>We will help creators securely transfer subscription and payments information to other subscription platforms. Creators will also be able to download and export their subscriber information and any content they have posted to their Drip page

I have a Drip page for Radical Digital Painting here: https://d.rip/jeffreyheart89

To be honest the product and UX still has a long way to go but I enjoy Kickstarter's enthusiasm about it to say the least.

How is there not an open source or at least a paid WP version of this. Seems like it's a decent plugin you could run on your own site + make a good lifestyle business out of (while saving people tons of money by letting them process their own transactions).

what makes this any different than patreon
