(Sorry, too tempting…)

I’d definitely donate. I love this whole project.

Hi Everybody,

Thanks for all your suggestions! I’ve added a donate link (using Paypal) to the homepage, the forum menubar and the readme of the project (currently dev branch only). If you have any suggestions where I can add more donate buttons without being annoying, feel free to let me know.

If you want to go to the donation-page directly, please follow this link.

To all of you that are going to donate: many many many thanks in advance!

The link sends you to a paypal site with dutch language,

Not a big deal, but should be English as default :)

Edit : And also, Donated ofc!

@broberg First of all: thanks for the donation! I really appreciate it!

Your link doesn’t seem to work since it includes your (expired) session token. I checked the donate button config, and it should display an English form. I tried changing the locale but it doesn’t seem to work.

This is the official sharable link:
https://www.paypal.com/cgi-bin/webscr?cmd=_s-xclick&hosted_button_id=G5D8E9MR5DTD2&source=url

Adding the locale doesn’t seem to work:
https://www.paypal.com/cgi-bin/webscr?cmd=_s-xclick&hosted_button_id=G5D8E9MR5DTD2&source=url&country.x=NL&locale.x=nl_EN

Any suggestions?

I like the idea of adding some sort of recognition system. This can be a nice perk for those who contribute.

Has this been implemented?

[MichMich]

@mykle1 Yes, I’ve created a group to which I will I eventually add all the sponsors.

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
