How do you differentiate from https://ko-fi.com/ ? My partner has been using this for a year or so, and hasn't had much revenue.
That said, we're big fans of all creator monetization companies like substack, patreon, ko-fi, etc.
You should also remove the letter by letter animation on the headline. I don't have time to read all of nouns you have listed. Just cycle through whole words using a faster tick speed.
And better yet, turn this landing page into a static one without any JS. Conversion numbers will be more reliable because people wont be quickly bouncing while waiting for the page to load.
This seems like a great service! I will definitely be setting up an account to cover the cost of running my podcast. If you don't mind me asking, What makes Buy Me a Coffee different from setting up a Patreon or a go fund me?
technically, the biggest difference is that you can also accept one-time payments using Buy Me A Coffee, and not just memberships. We see more than half of the payments from one-time contributions. More comparison here - https://www.buymeacoffee.com/patreon-alternative
No pricing information before sign-up? It's not likely that this is a novel idea to anyone signing up, so the number one thing they want to know (surely?) is 'how much are you skimming'. Personally I'm not willing to sign-up first in the hope that maybe more 'how do I actually use this and what does it cost me' information is available afterwards.

Buy Me A Coffee is more than a simple donation button/link. We help creators set up memberships, publish members-only content, website widget and more.

If I remember correctly, you got accepted to YC with a different idea — some sort of podcast app. Can you explain why you decided to pivot back to Buy Me A Coffee?
