Yes, like me.

There is nothing like that in our extension, feel free to check the code =)

Yes, now it's a subscription service.

Nope, not possible on any content site (eg youtube) and it also needs the site to add it. Neither would it give us enough data to create what we have done. The algorithm in the ext…

You hit the head on the nail, but from the wrong angle ;) That what you liked was actually exactly why we failed so far. 1. Users needed to do a conscious choice, clicking the butt…

Nope, Patreon focuses on person and fame, and is one to one payments. We focus on content and divides your money to any number of creators.

4. North Korea

Absolutely the opposite! We keep all your private data on your device where the algorithm runs and makes decisions on what to flattr. Instead of sending it all to us and then do th…

Yes, this is correct. In general payment providers has these set of rules/policies, that because the large institutions like Visa, Mastercard and banks does not accept these areas …

Ok, that is not really what happened. But it's a too long story for a HN comment ;)

Ah, true. The reason the blog is on .net is for security reasons. We don't want to have a WP blog (with all it's flaws) on a domain that should be trusted by our own system. That s…

The extension is how we can make the solution without any need for integration into sites (and services) and without any effort for the contributor. This is what we learned during …

:( yeah, things took way longer than we wanted. It always does.

There is no way of just paying eyeo to get your ads through the system. If you confirm to the acceptable ads standard your ads can be classified as that and visible to the people t…

In reality it's the opposite and that is why we join their boat. There is no company that tries to fix the internet in the profound way eyeo does. They care about all the things mo…

Pretty good summary! We have tried to be as thorough as we could with what data the extension saves in local storage, even with the first release. There are always improvements tha…

The extension uses a lot of data points (including your browser history) to decide what to flattr. But we never get the full data, the algorithm runs in the browser and only the re…

Stripe charges 2.9% + 30¢. So on $3 that would be 0.387 cents that is 12.9% fee.

Not really, you can flattr others with it, but that is more because it would be strange if you could not do it.

Hi, I'm Linus co-founder of Flattr. Will try and answer any questions you might have!

Exactly, you can not ask people to "care" and make "informed decisions" around tiny amounts. Then they will just skip it.

Not really, Flattr distributes your subscription automatically between the content and sites you engage with. Without the need of user interaction.

Yes, everything flattred is visible for you on your dashboard. But not all data or everything you visited etc, as that is a to high of a privacy invasion.

Sure, drop me an mail at linus at flattr

I co-founded Flattr and one of the things we learned is that even a one-click is to much effort. So we now have a zero-click solution that measures attention and visits in your bro…
