How do I donate? And, Thanks!

LEVI HAVIV

@NodeHam First of all, you can always contribute with code, it will only help the nodebb organization, but also all community users, you can develop plugins, translate, etc... there is no shortage of things.
Regarding a monetary donation, I don't know, but you can ask @baris @Administrators for the organization's bank account...

NodeHam

I'm not a coder and just wanted to send a bit of money as a thank you.
Please consider making it easier for users to do that by offering a donate button.

Thanks.

@NodeHam we do have a paypal account so I created a donation page for that, https://www.paypal.com/donate/?hosted_button_id=CQCTVLYR9EP6U

I had a chat with @julian and we want to look into github sponsors and/or open collective as well. Would be nice if there was a special group on this forum that users get automatically added if they become a github sponsor.

NodeHam

Not sure I'm following. Isn't github owned by Microsoft now?
I sure don't want to give them a single dime :).

<baris>

@NodeHam It's hard to avoid MS these days, they own bethesda and blizzard too

NodeHam

I guess I don't really understand the problem but I'll hit the link you shared.
I simply appreciate the support and the product.
However, you won't know who sent it.

Update: Done!

The amount goes in full to the user, Github does not charge a fee

@josef That's kind of what we're not 100% certain of. It says in their docs that orgs are charged a 6% fee, but I'm not sure whether that applies to orgs who are receiving donations, or just sending.

Ok, hopefully, you'll remember to add me to that list. Mostly, I just wanted to show appreciation for all the hard work and to give feedback/ideas when ever possible.

Offering my own SaaS, I know how frustrating it can be to have what you built used but never any feedback what so ever. Would be nice if public understood what we put into these products and services.

@NodeHam yes, once we settle on a system we will add in the hook and let people in to the super secret group for donors.

N.B. There isn't one
