Do you think your open source library needs a page that collects "Thank you"?

Github already has something for feedback: Issues and Pull requests. These tend to be "negative" feedbacks: "I find a bug in your code, could you fix it?" etc.

Some authors will have donation links in the repo: "if you really like the code, you can buy me a coffee".

But do you think we need something in between, like a "thank you" page: "If the code helps you, maybe you don't want to buy me a coffee, but you can say something nice, it will mean a lot."

It can work like this:

- The author adds a svg link in the README, which shows something like "12 thx received", and gets updated automatically;

- Users of the code can open the link to view all the messages, and add her/his own;

- Whenever someone leaves a message in the page, the author gets an email;

What do you think? Maybe too cheesy?
