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

2 pointsby tonteldoosabout 7 years ago
Hi HNers,<p>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?<p>In this instance, I&#x27;m only referring to ongoing, optional donations, not funding options like Kickstarter or Gofundme.<p>Thanks!

I&#x27;d be interested in this too. I don&#x27;t recall ever donating through a Donate button, though I&#x27;ve put money in Kickstarter and I always payed above average for Humble Bundle when I bought them.<p>It seems the tougher part is getting me to pay at all! After that, I&#x27;m happy to pay a reasonable amount.
