A universal Web Monetization Call to Action to be used by Creators #199

Open uchibeke opened 2 years ago

uchibeke commented 2 years ago

Currently, Web Monetization providers like coil have a Call to Action like the Support me with Coil button by Coil.

Create a similar Call to Action for Web Monetization that is not tied to a single provider. This will be used by Creators to invite content consumers to join the Web Monetization ecosystem.

For more context, see comments from the Web Monetization Workshop https://github.com/WICG/webmonetization/issues/172

So, the page itself shouldn't nag the user about subscription services... Otherwise, we pages adding cookie-banner-like things all over the place.

It should really be the browser's job to do that. Puma browser does this well, where the Coil button lights up if the page is monetized, and the user has the option of pressing the Coil button to find out more about the service.
