Considering taking donations to support the MagicMirror project. Interested in your thoughts!

[cowboysdude]

The project is noble but donations should have been a thing day 1… I mean this is a place where you can come and learn something really cool. IOT is a growing thing…why just buy something that may not suit your needs when you can openly build it yourself and customize it! I have been around her for almost 3 years and I have learned a lot because of this… So Thanks for all the hard work and donations are a great idea! Mykle1 pic above is a problem so I’ll wait until it gets sorted out :) Thanks for being a test pilot @Mykle1 LOL

@cowboysdude @Mykle1 It seems to work on my end (and for some others that I’ve asked). Could you try to see if it still gives an error (even if you’re not planning to donate … :)) Thanks!

@michmich The link works for me. Odd. However I had used the dutch one. That worked. Now I’m part of a club. Lol.

I am in donating for the project as long as I can use a platform I am already using (PAYPAL).

If you donate using paypal it works but @Mykle1 used a Credit card and that’s how he got his error.

It worked this time. Don’t spend it all in one place . . . unless it’s at the pub.

Done and done. I did get the initial prompt in Dutch, but I was able to figure it out. Once I logged into PayPal, everything switched to English.

[cowboysdude]

Yep used a CC just fine on the link :) SO for the US people it does all work!! Thanks guys for all the hard work!

Would just like to say that I have learned a great deal from doing my Mirror. I would gladly make a one time donation. As far as the platforms I prefer PayPal. Thanks again for your site.

@showbizkid here you go: http://magicmirror.builders/donate :)

For anyone that donated so far: I’ve enabled the “Sponsor” badge in the user profiles. If you prefer not to show, you can disable the badge in your user profile.

Edit:
Nevermind, saw the email now 😁

@michmich
My paypal account has another mail registered than the one is registered here. If you cannot find my donation pm me. (I am sorry for the small ammount of money but that’s all I can give for now).

[BKeyport]

Couple of suggestions.

I’m hesitant to donate because I don’t know what the money is going for, nor where it goes.

1. Change the link to show a page that shows that information, then the donation link.
2. Change the text to english by default. My browser auto-translates, but, it would be nice if it didn’t have to.

[retroflex]

Please i want my badge :-)

Thanks you all for the great project

[duckyjan007]

Yes go ahead.

@MichMich I know it’s in super early beta stage right now, but GitHub Sponsors could be a good option for MagicMirror since it’s already very popular on GitHub. Might be worth a look at least :)
