A few questions for @spacecowboy

When I decided to update No Nonsense Notes, someone recommended that I take a look at this repository https://github.com/OpenTracksApp/OpenTracks for inspiration. I see that they have a "funding button" for sponsors.

I added something like that in https://github.com/spacecowboy/NotePad/blob/master/.github/FUNDING.yml and it looks like (only) you can enable it in the repository settings.

Now, this is my first open source project that I'm contributing to, so I don't know what the common practices or technologies are, in relation to funding. what do you usually do about this ? Do I have to add something else as funding platform ? Is this something that we should ignore altogether ?

I just want to know what you think about this

Of course.

I am on Ko-fi myself. Which platform(s) are you on? I can make sure to enable this

I've enabled the sponsor button now

Which platform(s) are you on?

Over time, I made an account to try both ko-fi and liberapay: https://en.liberapay.com/CampelloManuel/ https://ko-fi.com/campellomanuel

I think the github sponsors link is sufficient for my account, maybe I'll add one of the 2 links I mentioned, but it's not a priority for me.

I've enabled the sponsor button now

Good, thank you. I added your username on https://github.com/spacecowboy/NotePad/blob/master/.github/FUNDING.yml but it seems you need to connect your account to stripe in order to take advantage of this github sponsors thing.

I left a link to the tutorial on the yml file, so you can make a commit and add your links.

Then, I think, we can close this issue
