> A 5% flat fee is too much for me though, if it had a cap then it'd be different. It can't have a cap if payment gateway processing fees are percentage-based.
Of course you can still have a cap. "A payment processing fee of 0.5% + 0.20c is collected on the total donation. We take an additional fee of 4.5%, up to a maximum of $10" There, done.
Stripe's payment processing fee is 2.9% + 30¢ in the US.
Donation income is risibly small. People will sign praise your work, tell you how much they depend on it, and how it changed their lives. Others will ask you tricky questions that really ought to be asked to a lawyer. ...and they still won't donate a cent. I get about 70 cents per thousand unique visitors. About one in every 14,000 visitors donate. Affiliate income is roughly 100 times that without trying. Let me put…

I put 50$ in the pokey machine but it’s only paid it out to two projects? Some of the other projects which are missing out I already donate to. Any ideas?
Please note the donation will be kept in PENDING state for 5 days to allow time for full dependency analysis, adjustments via boost and/or exclusions. In this time we'll be reaching out to the other projects in your dependency tree to onboard them.
Please ping me if you need anything. Many thanks again!

> There is absolutely nothing wrong with charging a fee for a service Agreed, but percentage-based fees can quickly become an unfairly large part of payments. I love the idea of this project, but I'd prefer there to be a 5% or X dollars minimum, so that if 5% is more than X dollars, then it doesn't force 5% minimum. If I'm donating $500 to 45 projects, then each project on an even split is getting $11, but thanks.dev…
My guess is that more than half of that $25 goes to the payment provider (Stripe etc.). Maybe more. The remaining ~$10 will go to thaks.dev to cover operational costs, administration and other expenses. I don't expect them to work for free. If you think it's unfair, contact the developers directly to see if you can wire them money (to avoid PayPal fees). If it's too much work, you can pay services like thanks.dev tha…
(And now I'm realizing that American tipping culture may be playing in to differing expectations here...)
EDIT: I see they have now updated their wording.

It's literally public information
I see nothing but a blank page. Firefox and Chrome.
Is it possible to scan a repo without authorising your service access to my entire Github account?
Folks may also be interested in checking out https://stackaid.us (previous discussion https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=32837829 ) as a different platform doing similar work
But dependency tracking is hard and all of these platforms only scratch the surface. For example, I've never seen a solution that detects C libraries used from other languages, let alone the dependencies of these libraries. Then there are build-time dependencies which are hard to detect. Here's an example of a complex dependency chain:
redmine -> ruby-commonmarker -> libcmark -> re2c
The FAQ has a section titled "What happens if I don’t claim my balance?", but I think this only applies to people registered at thanks.dev. I'm not even sure that thanks.dev would be able to reliably contact developers that / maintainers in all (most ?) situations.
