Small nitpick, and if you want some unsolicited feedback on that site: the GIF that shows a user using the site goes super slow and it would be a lot more engaging if the user typed faster.

Although I don't know how much I can blame this on connection problems on my end, it looks like it takes five seconds or so to type "Test Tester", when in my opinion it should take only one.

Sorry if I am misunderstanding the concept. What is the benefit of your service vs simply putting up a PayPal donate button on the site?
It's effectively the same thing, but it prevents users from having to leave your site to contribute. The hope is that it will increase donations because of that.
I appreciate the feedback! I recorded it and it seemed a little slow to me, but getting that from someone else validates that. Thanks!
I've made a video like this in the past and I found that one letter entered per frame felt nice and "zippy".

All you need to do is delete the frames where nothing changes in the input box and it'll be a big improvement.

(Obviously, this depends on your framerate. Suck it and see.)
