Ask HN: would you tip people in irc if it were really easy?
I have been helped by so many people in irc channels, I often wish I could click on their username and tip them instantly. Does anyone else want this service?
- pbiggar 14y agoTry gittip - very similar. This could be a plugin for gittip.
- the_cat_kittles 14y agoi tried gittip and i like the general idea, but i think recurring tips is pretty bad. But yes, it could be, should they decide to implement one-offs
- whichdan 14y agoDo you think it would change the dynamic of certain IRC channels if tipping became a regular occurrence?
- the_cat_kittles 14y agoIt wouldn't make them worse, but I doubt it would make them drastically better. It would honestly benefit the people who have been helped the most, since they are currently frustrated by not being able to do more than say "thanks"
