Liberapay is cool - wish they had the ability to take a monthly clump sum from me and divvy it out equally to the various projects I want to support rather than pledging specific amounts to specific projects.
They were doing that three years ago, but then their payment processing partner canceled their contract or something like that
Hmm it kinda sucks that they are using medium for the blog
Do inform me, what is the issue with medium as a blogging platform for Libreapay?
You can only read a couple of articles, then they want you to create an account to keep reading, for example. (I think, but I couldn’t find proof on this one quickly)
Also this practice of getting people to connect their other accounts: https://webapps.stackexchange.com/questions/121727/how-to-join-medium-without-having-google-or-facebook-account
Oh, I haven’t been an avid medium reader for a long time. I remember they had an odd login process where you did not get to choose a password - instead you entered your email and got a “login-email” which littered your precious inbox. Can’t remember there being a limit to how much you could read before nagging about account creation - if so, then yeah kind of sucky.
Also I have to add: I don’t care that much, liberapay is awesome still, I just wonder why they don’t host their own blog, they have lots of infrastructure anyways, right?
