Information on how to donate me

Donate

If you find my open-source work useful, please consider supporting me.

All of my projects are a labor of love, an unpaid volunteer work done in my spare time.

I don't receive donations often and appreciate every donation I receive, no matter how small.

Just to give a perspective, during the 3 year period from 2021 to 2024, I received a total of 3 donations, totaling $18 USD. This might come as a surprise, as some of my projects have over 200,000 downloads, but the reality is that barely anyone donates. However, when someone does donate, it always brightens my day :)

Show pros and cons

• GitHub Sponsors

  • Pros:
    • Takes no fee if the donation is done from a personal GitHub account
  • Cons:
    • Requires a GitHub account in order to donate
    • Takes a big 6% fee if the donation is done from an organization GitHub account
    • I receive the donation in 1-3 months

• PayPal

  • Pros:
    • No PayPal account required; allows to donate with just a debit or a credit card
    • Allows to donate using a PayPal account, if you do have one
    • Allows to select which of my projects the donation is for
    • Allows to leave a short text note along with the donation
    • Shows the fee PayPal will take out of your donation and allows you to cover it
    • I receive the donation immediately
  • Cons:
    • Takes a fee (it shows what the fee is when setting the donation amount)

I prefer GitHub Sponsors as there is no fee -- I receive the donation in full. However, feel free to donate using any method that is convenient to you, any donation is better than no donation.
