Wouldn't it be a better idea to donate a big amount of money to a single project rather than small amounts to many projects?
Don't get me wrong, I do support donating to projects but 5 bucks are nothing. Might as well not donate. Donating 50 dollars to one project is much better.
I recently heard the idea to donate monthly to one project of your choosing so the developers could rely on a steady income. I think that's a great way of doing it.
That probably ideal, but it should still be spread out so the "less important" projects still get something.
That's an even better idea! A steady income is much better than donations that may or may not arrive. Thanks for the idea, appreciate it!
