Recently figured out that sometimes ppl r kinda indifferent to small donations (Like a couple euros) so I wanna know if that’s just a minority thing? Excluding popular streamers or whatevs here

    personally for my project i would much rather have 100 $1 donations than 1 $100 donation because that would feel better and hopefully be much more stable and repeatable especially on my patreon

    You mean receiving small donations or giving out small donations?

    I do both since I got an app on the App Store, I set it up so that people can give me small tips. It makes around 150€ / year and I definitely appreciate the support. The biggest issue with this is that every now and then people send a tip and expect me to implement whatever feature it is that they want. This will of course not happen since 10€ don’t make up for a day of dev time.

    Giving out small donations is also something I do on a regular basis, like supporting creators on Patreon and Github. It really doesn’t impact me financially and if more people would do it, we could definitely have a more diverse and interesting app / creator culture.

      And wth that sounds so annoying?? If anything I’d rather have devs spend mine on smth nice like a coffee if they wanna cos it’s well deserved
