It's doubly nostalgic to see it here again, 5 years later.
Edit: and there's still room on that donors page for any companies wanting to chip in something substantial.
Edit 2: 5 years, not 4.
- mahmud 11y agoGood on ya, Jacques.
- kristianp 11y agoI'm interested in how much is being donated. Do you have any plans of releasing some stats?
- orf 11y agoI would be interested as well, it seems like the site should have been updated since then. Also I wonder what percentage of donations are a result of links to HN/reddit/social media rather than organic?
- jacques_chester 11y agoAlmost all of what are technically post-payments came from HN and Reddit links. On a normal day the site gets about 10 visits. In the last 9 hours it's had about 17k.
- jacques_chester 11y agoI think Peter would be amenable to it, I'll ask.
- jacques_chester 11y agoIn the past 24 hours, according to Peter, "US$4458 less fees of US$178.32 in 78 payments. two large ones. $2000 and $500."
