On: I Believe in Gittip

[wildmXranat]

So Gittip is a recurring donation platform for Github authors ?

[kingkilr → wildmXranat]

Pretty much, yes.

I want to expand it beyond GitHub, but yes.

[zalew → whit537]

+1 on expanding. making github-only tools when they could as well work in a more generic way is a bit ridiculous.

[whit537 → zalew]

Hey, cut me some slack! This is only a month old and I had to start somewhere. Here's the ticket for opening up:

chill, it was more of a friendly pat on the back than a slap in the face. you made a good decision to generalize it so soon, kudos.

[whit537 → zalew]

:^)

[simonbrown → zalew]

Well, you don't need to just use it for GitHub projects, as long as people wanting to contribute know your GitHub username.

[Codhisattva → whit537]

I was just wondering when GitHub would do something along these lines. You beat them to it!

I guess GitHub tried to integrate with Pledgie years ago:

Maybe they'll be willing to try again with Gittip? :-)
