I would love to see this supported by projects such as librepay:

1. It better captures the project dynamics. Sometimes the author and maintainers don't do much work or don't need the money at the moment.

2. It makes it easier to ask for money.

3. It may also solve the unclaimed donations problem. See for example https://liberapay.com/explore/pledges

I haven't heard about librepay before, thanks for letting me know. I'll take a look!

They are not as big as patron but host many FOSS projects and devs. Seeing how hard FOSS devs work and how little they earn, maybe HN reader can show them some love?

Since my current job would have been much harder without FOSS, during the pandemic I made it a habit of drinking coffee at home and sending my fav developer of the month equivalent of one overpriced cappuccino.
