Surprised I was able to get this url: https://www.buymeacoffee.com/troy

Love how slick everything is. Although couple things:

- Register page just hung with the spinning icon. Got the activation email but not sure what happened on registration. Guessing it errored. I have adblock so maybe theres something there?

- Would be nice to change the amount down to just a buck (hey I'm a cheap date).

- Would also be nice to change coffee to something else, as in my case I love tacos ;)

- When donating, how are you tracking if I've already donated to someone to show updates? If I don't have an account Im just guessing its cookie based and I'd have to give again if it goes away?

Really love just how fast and low friction everything is though.



Thank you for the kind words, @dawnerd. Nice URL!

- Weird. Shared with the team. We'll look into this right away.

- It's the second time we're hearing this today, and we'll definitely consider this. Thanks for the tip!

- You're right. You can do it with the buttons though (custom text, font, color, etc.). It's pretty cool :)

- Yes, it's cookie-based if the supporter is not logged in. However, we do our best to message properly and redirect them to the exclusive content to avoid any confusion.

Thanks for the suggestions!


Just sayin, could probably get the url buymeata.co


> Register page just hung with the spinning icon

Got that one too. Endless-spinners are one the most annoying stuff in the web. Please check for responses. I got a 403 (checked the network debug tag), probably session/csrf-token timeout...


> www.buymeacoffee.com is currently unable to handle this request. HTTP ERROR 500

Got this on validating my email. Also i can validate my request unlimited times to get unlimited emails. ;-)
