We love emojis! Supporters always leave comments with emojis. We'll check if we missed to support it somewhere.

Link dialog issue - I've passed it on to our developers and we're looking into it.

Thank you, Andrex!

We did have an issue with our email service provider (SendInBlue) during the HN launch day. Please try again; and let us know if the issue persists: [email protected], @TheBuyMeACoffee.

Cheers!

Thanks, Vivan! Our backend is LAMP. WhatRuns is picking up pretty much everything we run.

BTW good luck with what you're working on :)

Regarding a darker stylesheet - it's a popular opinion, and we'll look into it. Thank you!

Thank you, Lee! Good to see that you started receiving coffees. Enjoy one on me too!

We'll look into the link 'link in bio' suggestion. Thanks!

Thanks for the suggestions, @viperscape. Here's how we differ from Patreon:

1. For one-time payment needs. Only your most loyal followers are likely to go through a sign-up process to pledge a monthly payment. Buy Me A Coffee accepts payments in less a minute, without no commitments or friction.

2. Showcase your goals, and comments left by other supporters.

3. Shareable link, and a much friendly solicitation for support.

4. Multiple payment options. We currently support Paypal, Stripe (Patreon use this) and very soon - Cryptocurrencies too.

Hope this clarifies. Cheers!

We did!

We'd like to support multiple cryptocurrencies in a simple, secure and straightforward way. We're looking at CoinBase Commerce and alternatives for this.

Thanks for the suggestion!
