Ask HN: How successful is your 'Donate' button?

2 pointstonteldoos1 comment

Hi HNers,

For those of you with side-projects that are free, but have an ongoing donate option (either through a PayPal button, or something more formal like Patreon) - how successful has this been for you?

In this instance, I'm only referring to ongoing, optional donations, not funding options like Kickstarter or Gofundme.

Thanks!

I'd be interested in this too. I don't recall ever donating through a Donate button, though I've put money in Kickstarter and I always payed above average for Humble Bundle when I bought them.

It seems the tougher part is getting me to pay at all! After that, I'm happy to pay a reasonable amount.
