We'll soon be bringing the donation buttons back for files, and we're wondering how you'd like to see this work.
For anyone unfamilar, before the IPS4 migration, we had a feature where users could add a PayPal donation button next to their files by filling in the 'PayPal Donation E-mail' field on their profile.
I've thought of numerous ways of doing this:
Straight copy from the old site. We'll simply show a PayPal donation button next to (above or below) the download button. We require users to type a amount to pay for your file. This would allow the option of $0, so users would still be able to download your file for free. We'd also have a recommended amount configurable by the author, which would be the default amount which shows. For an example of this, see the following site: https://elementary.io/ When the user hits 'Download', we show a plea from the author, then present with two buttons, Donate & Download or just Download. Of course, we could maybe have a mixture of these options, or we could implement all of these options and have them entirely configurable by the creator. I'd prefer if we could settle on just one, as this would make this a lot easier and quicker to implement and being able to have this up and running asap.
Let us know!
