Gratipay as an integrative system

[orschiro]

Dear all,

I am looking for comments on an idea for a system that would integrate different projects that create social impact. That can range from open source software hosted on Launchpad or Github, to Wikipedia, Mozilla or Greenpeace.

What is very important, however, as a user (donor) I want the platform to be dead simple to use. I want to keep an overview of my monthly donation amount and easily adjust (branch) the flows to the various projects.

Please see the below scheme:

Is this something that could be incorporated into Gratipay?

Thanks ahead!

Robert

@orschiro Thanks for jumping in! This sounds a lot like what Gratipay is intended to be. It looks like you've been a member of Gratipay for two years (wow!). What's missing from your Gratipay experience that would help it better match what you're describing here?

Thanks for your quick response! In an essence, gratipay is too inconvenient to use. Let's say I would like to replicate the donation channels above. As a donor I don't want to take care of adding the desired projects to gratipay. That should happen behind the user's scene. I only want to easily select my desired projects (from Github, Launchpad, different foundations, etc.) and select the money to donate to.

This feels too complicated for me as a user:

Unfortunately we can only accept tips for projects that decide to use Gratipay. See #28 for backstory.

Thanks for your reference. Let's leave it as is for now.

Warmly,
