I'm hopeful that a Patreon-like donation model will prove successful for apps/products with a passionate userbase. Ulysses, as described in the article, does seem to have a pretty active community with a lot of people willing to pay.

Maybe times will change but currently you are lucky if you waive less then 98% of your possible income if you use a donation model.
Begging for a few crumbs doesn't look like success to me.
