Thank you, @akashakya! Please choose a payout method to make your page public. Waiting to buy your first coffee :)

We love emojis! Supporters always leave comments with emojis. We'll check if we missed to support it somewhere.

Link dialog issue - I've passed it on to our developers and we're looking into it.

Thank you, Andrex!

Good point. I'll be sure to bring this up in our next brainstorming session. Thank you!

We did have an issue with our email service provider (SendInBlue) during the HN launch day. Please try again; and let us know if the issue persists: hello@buymeacoffee.com, @TheBuyMeACoffee.

Cheers!

Made our day with that comment, @acct1771! Thanks for trying us out, and we promise to remain good and kind as we grow :)

Happy to be your first supporter on BMC!

Thank you. Love the updates, @DpdC. Welcome to Buy Me A Coffee!

Glad to buy your first coffee. Also, your platform fee is waived.

Thanks, Vivan! Our backend is LAMP. WhatRuns is picking up pretty much everything we run.

BTW good luck with what you're working on :)

Excellent point. We never thought of it this way TBH. Thanks for the suggestion!

If you like to know more about us, check out our ProductHunt page; it is more personal and transparent - https://www.producthunt.com/posts/buy-me-a-coffee. We also have a LinkedIn page.

Welcome to BuyMeACoffee! Your platform fee is waived.

Regarding a darker stylesheet - it's a popular opinion, and we'll look into it. Thank you!

Thank you, Lee! Good to see that you started receiving coffees. Enjoy one on me too!

We'll look into the link 'link in bio' suggestion. Thanks!

Thanks for the suggestions, @viperscape. Here's how we differ from Patreon:

1. For one-time payment needs. Only your most loyal followers are likely to go through a sign-up process to pledge a monthly payment. Buy Me A Coffee accepts payments in less a minute, without no commitments or friction.

2. Showcase your goals, and comments left by other supporters.

3. Shareable link, and a much friendly solicitation for support.

4. Multiple payment options. We currently support Paypal, Stripe (Patreon use this) and very soon - Cryptocurrencies too.

Hope this clarifies. Cheers!

We did!

We'd like to support multiple cryptocurrencies in a simple, secure and straightforward way. We're looking at CoinBase Commerce and alternatives for this.

Thanks for the suggestion!

Thank you so much, Konrad. Glad to welcome you with a coffee! P.S Your platform fee is waived.

Absolutely.

Good news: https://stripe.com/blog/india-private-beta

We have a lot of users from India, and they use Paypal to receive payments :) Please shoot us an email if you need help with anything - hello [at] buymeacoffee.com

Cheers!

Sorry to hear that. I've passed it on to our developers and we're looking into it. Cheers!

Glad you asked!

1) Multiple payment options: Stripe, Paypal and very soon - Cryptocurrencies.

2) Rewards for supporters

3) Showcase goals and comments left by other supporters

4) Friendly solicitation, and beautiful page and buttons.

Awesome! Congrats on your first coffee, @lamby.

You're right. We'll be sure to improve our copy and messaging to highlight these features.

Quick update: We've pushed this feature live. Thanks!

Sorry to hear that. If it's an issue with your account/Stripe, we'd like to investigate it further.

Can you please share your BMC page with us: hello [at] buymeacoffee.com / @TheBuyMeACoffee on twitter.

As a quick fix, you can choose 'Paypal' as your payout method and start receiving donations.

Haha, we did. Welcome to BuyMeACoffee, @grzm. Your platform fee is waived, and I'm glad to buy your first coffee!

Hey Elliot,

Glad you like the platform, and thanks for sharing those thoughtful suggestions. We've already started working on it.

1. Noted. We're doing a complete revamp of buttons and widgets with step-by-step instructions on how to use on popular platforms like Medium, GitHub etc.

2. Very true. Work in progress.

3. We want to keep the coffee analogy, but I get your point and we'll work out a solution. Thanks for the suggestion.

4. Answered this here: https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=16491026. Hope it's relevant.

5. That's a good idea. We'll see if we can somehow share referrer stats without cluttering the dashboard.

Thanks again for all these suggestion. Cheers!

Not late at all. Thanks for trying us out, Ty! Your platform fee is waived, and I'm glad to buy your first coffee <3

Thanks, @zuzuleinen. We've tried to keep it minimal from day 1.

Good suggestion! We have Twitter log-in planned, so we'll have to rework the design anyway.

Welcome to BuyMeACoffee!

Thanks for trying us out, Jacques! Your platform fee is waived, and enjoy your first coffee on the house :)

Thank you, welcome to BMC! Glad to be your first supporter on the platform :)
