Web monetization is a Web API in draft status that seeks to build open, neutral revenue streams paid directly from site visitors to content creators.
In its simplest form, the site owner sets up a wallet and get a payment pointer; this payment pointer is added to a meta tag in the head of the site, and you're then set up to receive streamed payments from visitors that have a subscription to Coil or other providers.
As it stands, anyone can add the hugo-webmonetization-component by @sabinebertram to their Hugo site, alongside any theme.
I'm thinking of building this directly into Indigo, such that if you add a payment pointer to your site's config.toml file, it'll include the webmonetization meta tag across the site.
