Feature Request: Block Patterns for a 'Tip Jar' version of the donations block #25038

Open jordesign opened 3 years ago

jordesign commented 3 years ago

What

If we're able to make some tweaks to the Donations Block to make it less opinionated on titling - it would be great to have some Patterns which include it as something of a blogger 'Tip Jar'

Why

The concept of a 'Tip Jar' is very common for bloggers. They often have a sidebar entry which asks for coffee money/tips - kind of single, one-off donations of small amounts for readers.

We've got the tooling for this in place with the Donations Block (with a couple of of tweaks) - but having some patterns to insert which include the donations block would make it a much lower barrier to including this kind of content.

How

Start with concepting some Block Patterns which include the Donations Block and language/design elements around the 'Tip Jar' concept.

Pinging @that-mike-bal here - and also noting previous similar investigations in 64-gh-Automattic/view-design

I am definitely not a designer but I could wireframe out a few options or even try and hunt some down from other sites if needed.

One place worth looking at for new pattern ideas or design inspiration is in the Newspack campaigns feature - I believe there are in-content ctas, sticky footer banners, and maybe even pop ups.

Doing some more digging into this and we have some blockers with the Donations block at the moment - even stopping some nice patterns from being made: pdgK6S-4m-p2#comment-263

going to stick this into the Future column for now.
