| https://buymeacoff.ee/schmich Great way to promote your site. Onboarding was as easy as it gets. I'm a software developer with a job, but I also have open source projects that stretch out beyond the horizon. Some are much more successful than others, and I've been considering accepting donations for a while. I don't have the hardcore following that would support something like Patreon, but I have enough of an audience where something like BMAC might work. Cryptocurrency support would be interesting as well. I've considered setting up wallets for just this purpose. Quick feedback: 1) The creator pages feel undifferentiated (colors/icons/themes/imagery). Upsides: consistency for your platform, simplicity for creators, fewer knobs, less myspace-esque junkery. Downsides: impersonal, bland, might feel cheap/unimportant. I'm not sure where I fall on the spectrum, just a fleeting thought. 2) Under "What do you do?" on my profile, I wanted to put "Open Source Software Developer" to stress the open and contributing nature of my work, but the input's maxlength was 20. I edited it to 35 and it worked, so clearly the backend supports longer descriptions ;) Maybe raise the maxlength on the field? |
1. Customizable creator page was a topic of debate for us from day one :) You have beautifully shared the ups and downs of it. I've noted it and will bring this up in our next brainstorming session.
2. Haha, nice find. Just shared this on our slack. Let us see what we can do without affecting the design :) Thanks for noticing!
