Ko-fi — Buy me a coffee

Support on Ko-fi

One coffee ($3) or a monthly subscription — every bit funds server costs and development.

Weekly or monthly — you pick the amount and frequency. Cancel anytime.

FAQ

Is the donor toggle permanent?

It's stored in your browser's localStorage. Clearing your browser data will reset it, but you can simply toggle it back on.

How much should I donate?

Whatever feels right! Even a single coffee ($3) helps. Monthly supporters on Liberapay get a special shout-out if they'd like one.

Which donation method should I use?

Ko-fi is the easiest (one click). Liberapay is best for recurring support with no platform fees. Crypto is for privacy-minded supporters who want to skip platforms entirely.

Can I donate using a different crypto?

BTC and ETH are what's set up currently. If you need another chain, reach out and I might add it.

Made for people who love the open web. Thank you for being here.
