Just curious, why is there a login gate before seeing the list of projects that participate in the platform? Usually similar donation(?) websites list those publicly for better visibility and less friction.

Probably an oversight on my part. I was thinking that backers would find out about CleverCrow through the project maintainers so the public pages are repo specific.

As an aside, when you do login, CleverCrow shows projects that you've starred on GitHub to help find things you might want to support.

Oh nice! Does it also require my bank's password?
Full details on the permissions we request from GitHub are present here: https://app.clevercrow.io/github-access. Regarding bank access, all financial transactions are handled by Stripe in an incredibly conventional manner. Additional details on that in the privacy doc: https://app.clevercrow.io/privacy
