Ask HN: Good online service to ask for donations for my open source project?

3 points by chriszhang ↗ HN
I know about Patreon and Buy Me a Coffee. Have you used one of these or both of these? What has been your experience?

I am trying to decide which of these two services I should use to add "Sponsor" link for my open source project.

Are there any gotchas about each service that I need to be aware of? Does one have any advantages over the other?

I haven't used these but since you haven't mentioned it, I just wanted to add that if your project is on Github, Github has Github Sponsors which currently seems to be waitlisted: https://github.com/sponsors
