I feel this is unintentionally going to the lowest end of this space with the whole "buy me a coffee" message and brand. I run a site which is 100% monetized through voluntary donations and I would never use language like buy me a beer/buy me a coffee for it. It feels like you are marginalizing your work to the hobby/side-project realm with low expectations. We strive for $40 a year as a target donation from those wh…

Not everything is made to receive $40 annually. With $40 annually you must be rolling in the cash and I should start taking serious financial advice from you. What's your secret? "for the price of one starbucks a month?"

Some people use buy me a coffee, literally to show that they are s-o-c-i-a-l and want to meet for a c-o-f-f-e-e, whether over the wire or over the table.

Well, nothing to lose I guess. Easy process to set it up, servers are getting a little pounded the last few hours I guess :) https://www.buymeacoffee.com/qigPCbYZ2

HN kiss of death, I guess :) We briefly went down to upgrade the server. Glad to be your first supporter BTW. Thanks for trying us out!

better upgrade again, the site is looking broken atm

Will do! Thanks for the tip.

Not just on the terms page. Text contrast is way too low all over the place. I understand wanting to use lower contrast to control where the eye goes first, but please don't make your text so hard to read.

Noted. I'll sit with the designer to see what we can do. Thanks for the suggestion, @BugsJustFindMe!

I uploaded an avatar with portrait dimension but it looks like your system turned it to a square improperly (the avatar looks squished)
