Considering taking donations to support the MagicMirror project. Interested in your thoughts!
-
I would definitely support one-time donations via PayPal and a monthly tiered Patreon. As someone mentioned before I like the idea of a Patreon tier that would be able to vote on what modules and features are added next. Personally I would support a monthly Patreon.
I would also not be opposed to a marketplace where developers could make money from their modules and support the modules that they create. Similar to what WordPress has done with plugins and themes.
-
I would also agree to support thru PayPal. Great stuff man. Thanks for making this community very healthy and supportive.
-
I am willing to donate as long as it remains voluntary.
paypal is prefered as payment method. -
@mykle1 I’m with you, but I’ll add PayPal as a way to donate.
-
(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:

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

What if we try this link?

Now they have all my information. Wonderful!

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.
