We should have some kind of FOSS payment group. You pay 10 dollars each month and you can add projects, which share your donation. I would be broke if I had to donate seperatly for them all. This of course isn't perfect but seems like a great start
A cool app or would be where you tell it how much money you can spare to donate to projects and it tells you how much to give to each of them based on how much time you spent using them. You could even go on to combine this with others on a website, so that the payouts to each project are bigger. There are so many people like us who want to donate to our favorite projects but don't because it feels too complicated. It could make a huge difference.
Yeah! If someone was willing to make this please do!
How is that different from something like ko-fi?
I thought you still have to pay separately on ko-fi?
I think they were saying, you pay $10 a month and it gets split up by the projects you use.
Exactly
Oh I misunderstood. I thought the idea was to pool donations together in a group.
But ko-fi allows your to set arbitrary amounts, doesn't it?
