Flattery will get you everything.

Another development in Haiku's donation infrastructure has been implemented! This time it's Flattr - Social microdonations. Flattr is a way for you to set a monthly donation budget, which then automatically gets divided into equal pieces and donated to people you choose to "Flattr". You can read more about How Flattr Works.

In time, we expect Flattr buttons to be added elsewhere, including haiku-files.org and even within individual postings on the website. For now, it's added underneath the piggy bank donation meter, which shows the yearly income from donations. We understand that no single donation processor will meet every person's wants or needs, so we are continuing to adopt multiple options.

Re: Flattery will get you everything.

Great news! I have been waiting for this. Already given my first flattr to the project :).

Re: Flattery will get you everything.

I've been waiting for this too. Subscriptions are working, especially if they are small, like in flattr.
By the way, I love your flattr page, and there are 3 things pending:
1) Please add the official logo as the Haiku Inc. avatar, so people won't be confused
2) Naming the page "Official" would prevent them from mistakes too :)
3) If it is possible, add the Haiku page to flattr. The difference between it and Haiku Inc. page is huge. I use Flattr Firefox plugin and it highlights flattrable pages. Right now it doesn't highlight the haiku-os.org page (because you have to add it as a new thing), which confused me a little.

For me Haiku is a very important project, wish you good luck with the development!

UPD: Wow, you did it less than in an hour! The page will be seen via plugins a day after its flattr thing creation, and now the search for Haiku works flawlessly. Thank you very much.

Adding github would be nice too :) it already has a few stargazers...

Re: Flattery will get you everything.

This page is perfect. https://flattr.com/thing/1338313/HAIKU-Project
It would be good to replace the main page button URL that currently refers to Haiku, Inc. with Haiku Project page.

P.S. These are small changes, of course, but they make sense.

Done. Thanks for the suggestions!
