Dear app developers, there are really great #fdroidapp from you in #fdroid and I would really like to give you a donation. But if all payment options are handled exclusively via #paypal, I won't. I also think that does not fit the concept of being an alternative to google&co.

@kalivene While I wholeheartedly agree with this, the more interesting question to me here is: Google Play and the Apple AppStore has payment procedures included. Given the idea of providing some sort of cash to app developers, and be it as one-time donations, is more than just worth recommending, I always have and still do wonder why #fdroid and other alternative app stores don't come with a solution to that problem baked-in too. It would just sound very worthwhile to do so (and the other way 'round also help independent software developers who, by now, are stuck with Google Play on Android because they can't afford giving their stuff away for "gratis"...).
@z428eu @kalivene How could a ragtag team of part time volunteer contributors from 6 continents submit to the legal undertaking of becoming a financial enterprise?
There's #Liberapay, #OpenCollective, #ko-fi, #BuyMeACoffee, #Patreon, #Github Sponsors, #SEPA etc and crypto coins. If your favorite app developer does not yet support the one you like... feel free to ask them.
