- DJTtt 7y agoThat's interesting. Looks like it's a limited beta right now, I wonder if anyone will be able to enable Patreon-esque sponsorship for their projects in the future and what the requirements will be. Also very generous of Microsoft to match donations.
- hellcow 7y agoThere's nothing generous about it. Microsoft is well behind Patreon and this is a way to get creators to swap to using GitHub for donations.
- patrickmcnamara 7y agoIs there something to stop creators using both?
- hellcow 7y agoNot in theory, but in practice why would any creator encourage people to give them money on a platform that pays out half of the other one? They would push all people to the one with double payouts.
