Hi,

do you know any platforms that can help me donate to different open source projects regardless of what donation "channels" they are using? Some kind of aggregator where I load my money, choose projects I want to support, and this platform handles everything else - for example, I don't need to care that one project uses OpenCollective and another project accepts only "manual" donations in crypto, that aggregation donation platform would handle everything by itself.

If you don't know such platforms, do you think one should be created to potentially improve the donation flow so more people can donate to different projects more easily?

Cheers

Oh yeah I’d love such a thing!

You could log to one service and use it to give to every open source project, no matter if they use Patreon or another platform.

Still it would be sensitive to handle as there would be credit cards informations..

What I’ve created is a Firefox bookmark with the « donate » page of every project I wanna support.
