hi jjb123, thanks for the thoughtful reply. Yes I can see how payments vs. donations are different. I didn't mean to say what you did isn't useful. I'm a developer too so I can appreciate what it took to make your thing a reality. I guess I'm just saying you don't make the difference clear to the user. The only difference I see with Stripe's is Tilt's monthly donation checkbox. I guess investigating further, you differentiate with Stripe in making your modal for the non-developer. Still a layperson will have to inject two lines of code, but then they don't have to do all the customization by writing more code and can instead use Tilt's GUI.

TL;DR; It would be good to make it more clear to the end user what's new about this. Perhaps a better title for this HN post is "Accept donations on your site without writing code". The word "instantly" obviously never can be true and seems like overhype.
