• Flattr: 404 – Service No Long Exists

  A few alternatives for micro donations that people have mentioned: https://ko-fi.com/ https://github.com/sponsors https://www.buymeacoffee.com/ Any others, let me know. - Source: Hacker News / 3 months ago

• Making 3D porn is "easy money"?

  I still have to try https://ci-en.net/, https://slushe.com/, https://ko-fi.com/, https://catbox.moe/, I heard they were possible good alternatives. But I couldn't say, dunno yet. Source: 4 months ago

• Rogue System Reboot

  I did, however, remember another crowdfunding platform that may be the best of both worlds here (second highest voted so far being Patreon). Ko-fi: it offers both monthly and one-time donations as well as a store where we could sell things like early access keys or things like that. Their fees are very low as well, capping out at 5%.

• Regarding Somerton's supposed drop in Patreon support earlier this year

  With everything going on with Patreon lately that's probably why I've suddenly started hearing about Ko-fi this year. Source: 5 months ago

• Horseplay [OC]

  Checkout ko-fi.com and see if you dig it. It's a much, much, MUCH better deal than Patreon. Source: 5 months ago

Flattr mentions (10)

• EU NGI TALER will bring private and secure online payments to the Eurozone

  Flattr was a kind of a version of that (although billed as "donations"), and it recently shut down. https://flattr.com/. - Source: Hacker News / 3 months ago

• Paying Netflix $0.53/H, etc.

  There was https://flattr.com/ and, more recently, https://twitter.com/coil But, yes, a complete chicken-and-egg problem. - Source: Hacker News / 4 months ago

• Ask HN: Startup ideas that you'll never do?

  I think Flattr does exactly this https://flattr.com/ but it looks like they may have changed their business model recently. - Source: Hacker News / 8 months ago

• Show HN: StackAid – fund 100s of open source dependencies with one subscription

  This kind of looks like https://flattr.com/ but specifically for dev/dependencies. Not sure I like that there's "only" a two-month limit in which funds can be claimed, though. Some developers could be very busy or get caught up with other stuff and not hear about their accumulated funds before the "expire". Some might also think it's a phishing scam if they haven't heard of StackAid before. - Source: Hacker News / over 1 year ago

• Patreon cuts deep inside creators’ pockets

  I think this is one of the problems flattr tries to solve. Instead of multiple micro transactions you make one larger transaction each month to flattr, who then divides it up to all the creators you want to support. I don't know how Patreon does it, if they make one charge for each creator you support I guess the transactions fees can become a large part of the total amount. https://flattr.com/. - Source: Hacker News / almost 2 years ago
