Fair point and the costs add up. Eventually the bill is due. Is this the check finally sitting on the table?

Beginning to think? To me it feels (and I use feels) like we found the can that was kicked in 08. My hope is we finally trip over the damn thing and sort the mess that ensues. Another kick of this can is unimaginable to me.

Ugly is an understatement I fear and I consider myself an optimist. 😬

QE infinity resumed

They are definitely scared of what’s possibly coming.

banks got their design. Govt.(Fed) not Savior,although they're pretending to.

problems not appear overnight.

there is only one fuse,but with tons of reasons. best of luck😉

And why not just a QR code with a couple of words "your support makes this client possible" In a corner.

Just thinking out loud tbh.

Ah man, this is where I wish we could setup splits more easily. For example, I could opt in to like 10% of every Zap I do go to the client dev.

Anyhow, agree with others. I don’t think this is intrusive as it doesn’t impede on functionality.

As for the period it goes away for, would be nice to make that clear when the user is making donations so they know how much to tip.

🔥 And for the record, that doesn't mean I won't zap...just that I don't want to be "forced" to zap to dismiss a message.

I think it's OKish but I would want a way to dismiss it without HAVING to zap.

Normally I'm opposed (I've never donated to Wikipedia for reasons), but maybe its worth testing the waters

I speak for myself only, but if it was the first time using nostrgram and like it, a notification about support will be enough: if you like, support type. Then I see settings and chose an option to support for ... time. There wont be any need for extra adds about it on main screen. And another notification when time due,a bit like subscription really. The subtle engaging and choice has a better appeal for me. However not sure how that will work with people with a lot of notifications. So should be flagged somehow indeed without being annoying. Maybe for any client kind of notifications.

Yes, I meant more in general terms. Have you thought about having open books? Just spitballing here, but I have no idea what your costs of operating would be. I’m assuming many wouldn’t either. Maybe people would contribute more, if they knew the costs? Like a co-op kind of thing?

More like a pop up or notification for first time support, and then settings and just a notification when time due after that. The goal is to engage people.

Most ppl don’t use crypto so it’s probably a good idea to a fiat option, yes.

On the fediverse, there are a bunch of ppl that make clients and nobody does anything like this. Maybe they have a link in their bio, or something in the settings or about page. Or they make posts once in a while asking for donos.

As long as you don't put a mugshot there like that creep from Wikipedia, it's fine. 😆
