Why there is no donation link on the website? #527

Closed iTarek closed 3 years ago

iTarek commented 3 years ago

Hello I wonder why there is no donation link on the website, project like this have costs and people can share the cost with you, so you just have to worry about making it better.

Web site like tanzil.net, have a donation page.. https://tanzil.net/docs/donation

I wish if you make the same thing and make it easy for users to donate money.

Thank you

Hi, PayPal is not allowing donations for many countries including Algeria.

@muslih is it allowed in Indonesia?

muslih commented 3 years ago

Afaik yes, it is allowed in Indonesia @assem-ch

zsmahi commented 3 years ago

It is allowed in France, I can create it for Alfanous 👍

iTarek commented 3 years ago

You can also make it in UAE. There is many websites also use other methods website like https://nuqayah.com uses https://donorbox.org/

The donation link must be added on the main web page

It is added to the website, orange button at the bottom

It's too small :) If we point the users to donate they for sure will ask where is the donation button, can't you please make it bigger under the help a good big donation button that users will never miss

Hello mates,

I've edited the previous generated link for donation (i've added alfanous's logo, and generate an html form For that) Here is the new link: https://www.paypal.com/donate?hosted_button_id=EBKM4U5NSYV3W

And for addingnit to the website I recommand using the paypal's autogenerated form

Can anyone please add it ? If yes here is the form code

But now you removed the Help button and it was important too

ghost commented 3 years ago

iTarek commented 3 years ago

Since we launch the iOS app few users asked us how to donate, and we forward them to your website, I wish there is a good amount of donation that keep things go.

@iTarek that is nice.

@assem-ch I would recommend that we have a periodic public report for donation (just total, even none). It will help stabilize value quickly depending how end users evaluate the project and its needs. My side it is better to be more than once a year.

zsmahi commented 3 years ago

I totally agree @sneetsher

assem-ch commented 3 years ago

@iTarek there is around 250 dollars, for now, that's great for a start, we'll see how things go in the next 6 months.

@sneetsher we'll do it yearly , or every quarter if there is enough donation to boost new features

If you are going to work on the project and make better I can push to get even more money, just the users who donate like to see that things changes when they donated, they trust us for sure but it will be better to show them that there money is making different.
