Contributor Tier Ideas
First proposal
- $1: Discord role
- $5: Private Q&A channel with devs. Participate in polls
$10: Stickers(we'd need to design and order them first)- $15: Coding livestreams topic selection (regularly, different topics, livestreams open to all)
- $25: Discord cool role
- $50: Mentioning on about page. Demonnic will turn you a pen on his lathe.
An alternative progression
- 2 $
- Discord supporter role
- Access private Q&A channel
- 4 $
- Get listed on "About tab" (and Mudlet website both?)
- Participate in polls
- 8 $
- Suggest small topic for livestream
- Get listed on "About tab" in bold
- 16 $
- Discord advanced supporter role
- Ability to join and speak in livestream
- Get listed on "About tab" in bold with additional message in a tool-tip (need to ponder advertisements though)
- Mudlet pen (limited offer only)
- 32 $
- Request large topic for extensive tutorial video
- Get listed on "About tab" in bold with tool-tip and listed above lower supporters
Another joint proposal
- 1 $ - Discord title & user name colored (starting here, have them at every tier)
- 2 $ - Access to exclusive patreon content
- 3 $ - Shout out on twitter
- 5 $ - Participate in polls
- 8 $ - Private discord channel
- 13 $ - Improved Discord user name color
- 21 $ - Topic suggestion
- 34 $ - About page mention
- 55 $ - Pen (start lower as exclusive offer at the beginning)
Points from other creators
- Publicize it regularly
- Create a Discord role
- Have the $1 tier
- stickers :D
- Coding livestreams
- Coding Q&A videos
- Live coding sessions of Mudlet scripts
Come up with reward ideas
Interesting ideas:
- Discord role (or multiple tiered)
- Private Q&A channel with devs
- Alternatively a half-public channel, in that all can read answers, but not all can write
Stickers(we'd need to design and order them first)- livestreams
- regularly
- different topics
- Coding
- Mudlet
- scripts
- Mentioning on about page
- Have this tiered as well? For example like this
- Mention name
- Mention name and image
- Mention name, image and tool-tip shown on mouse-over
- Mention name, image, tool-tip and be clickable/link somewhere (no 18+)
- Posters (same caveat as stickers above)
Anti-ideas we are not implementing:
- Getting your game listed
- Putting advertising on mudlet.org
Investigate other platforms
- Keneanung checked out other platforms that Github supports - none are all that popular and Patreon had the lowest fees.
- which ones were checked? --> The ones mentioned in https://help.github.com/en/articles/displaying-a-sponsor-button-in-your-repository#about-funding-files - That is: CommunityBridge, GitHub Sponsors, IssueHunt, Ko-fi, Liberapay, Open Collective, Otechie, Patreon, Tidelift
Be mindful of doing it wrong
- don't want anyone to feel left out - Mudlet is gonna be free, and we're not doing this to make people without money feel bad (practically speaking the amount that'll care will not be high, but still!)
