Developing an app is not easy or fast. Its time consuming and requires you pour a lot of your own time and money. We love your app and want to ensure it remains sustainable for you to continue development. Please make it as easy as possible for all of us to donate monthly by using the platforms a lot of us use. These being github sponsors, patreon, open collective, and liberapay.

For reference this is the voyager (formerly wefwef) developers github sponsors which is also a great project the community is starting to help fund https://github.com/sponsors/aeharding

And some servers have open collectives to pay their server bills which is also great https://opencollective.com/beehaw

So in your opinion would you rather see it be an OpenCollective or an in-app tip jar? There's ups and downs to both.

On one hand, using OpenCollective would have a 10% fee which is lower, but would have less "publicity" to it. On the other hand, the in-app tip jar would be more visible but would have a 15% fee on it (I'd have to make it recurring to even get that percentage, there's a 30% fee on non-recurring transactions IIRC).

I'm fine with either, or even both if that's something that would make more sense.

Is Liberapay an option? They don't have processing fees: https://en.liberapay.com/about/faq
