Automated new donations information #126

Open trichoplax opened 1 month ago

Is your feature request related to a problem? Please describe. Adding information about new donations is done by making commits. At present this is an occasional task but it is likely to become more frequent in future.

Describe the solution you'd like Is there a way to automate this process, so that new donation information will show up without need for manual work?

@ArtOfCode- started to write something for this a long time ago, but I don't remember why development stopped.

For donations from the "donate" button, we're using Stripe. We ask for an optional name and message if the person wants a public thanks; I don't know if we're in Stripe-land at that point or if we can still capture that info on the way in. (We certainly do not want to be anywhere near capturing PII like credit-card numbers; let Stripe handle that.) There'd still need to be a path from "qpixel records it somewhere" to "static web site that is not qpixel can read it".

For GitHub sponsors, I don't know if there's an API.
