Funding Goal Ideas
(those are yearly costs, they add up)
- $100 Apple code signing certificate
- $600 Windows code signing certificate from digicert ($499.00 for one year)
- $1050 Windows code signing certificate for 2 years from digicert ($475 per year, saves a bit of money)
- $1350 Additional windows CI job (would possibly allow us to create 64-bit windows binaries without delay, appveyor charges $25 per additional job per month)
- $???? Additional travis (macOS?) CI jobs (we'd need to contact travis support for a quote)
- Steam store listing? Windows store listing?
Contributor Tier Ideas
- $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
Points from other creators
- Publicize it regularly
- Create a Discord role
- Have the $1 tier
- stickers :D (designed by Stephen!)
- 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)
- Coding livestreams (regularly, different topics (Mudlet, scripts)?)
- Mentioning on about page
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
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!)
