@meljoann @lislegaard @ety @ke7zum I don’t mean to stick my nose into conversations that are organic and don’t involve me, buttt… there are certain things I’m never going to unilaterally decide for everyone. Payments are one of them. I’m not going to say “Everyone needs to use PayPal, deal with it” or something. That’s why there are no payment support in Owncast at all. I’d rather have nothing than to force something. Some want Bitcoin, some want Stripe, some want PayPal, some want Ko-fi, some want OpenCollective, etc.
So if the Owncast community ever came up with a solution that was useful and flexible for everyone, I’d really love to hear it. I want to offer these donation options to streamers. I just don’t know what the answer is. The best answer I came up with was the “external UI” buttons so you can embed payment forms within Owncast itself.
