Eleutheria Pay - Open source donation platform

@atrilahiji Cloudron wasn't made to update files that way, what you can do is use an updated start.sh to compare and then add new lines to .env.

Also trying to figure out how to tweak the cloudron package to properly merge .env files and the styles.css file. Right now while updates work on cloudron, I have to manually

Can I also make another suggestion? Can you add the option to detect dark mode enabled browsers (chrome, firefox, edge, etc all support this feature) so the site's dark mode toggle follows the users OS-determined settings?

Once this project is more stable, I plan to use it as well for accepting donations.

@murgero already done. What it should be doing (I’ll verify again) is use your locastorage first. If it’s your first time visiting it will detect your system settings.

This means that if you manually toggle to light mode and come back, it will still be light and ignore your system preferences

@marcusquinn I will have to respectfully disagree with that one. That being said, the CSS is fully user customizable

[marcusquinn]

@atrilahiji No worries, just my POV, noting the above Fast screenshot and similar with Stripe, Paypal and every other checkout form I've ever seen.

@marcusquinn Something like this?

@murgero @jdaviescoates opinions?

[murgero]

@atrilahiji That looks really good.

[A Former User]

Thanks for the feedback guys. I pushed and deployed a new demo and I think I have the hand of hang of bootstrap breakpoints.

[murgero]

@atrilahiji Ya cert is borked

[A Former User]

@murgero Oh the new demo link is https://eleutheriapaydemo.atrilahiji.dev/

I cant update the OP anymore (dunno why) but its updated on the repo.

I think when @Staff updated this NodeBB a load of default settings got changed, including making it so we can now no longer edit old posts. I'd like that change to be changed back.

@atrilahiji Thats nice

[marcusquinn]

For the radio-button styles, It might look better to invert, so blue text on white. We always try to make high-contract for visually-impaired accessibility.

[A Former User]

@marcusquinn Done (sort of).

[marcusquinn]

@atrilahiji Very nice! Some other tweaks:

• Perhaps add the Name & Email fields to your form so they are pre-populated when getting to the Stripe page.
• Currencies in alphabetical order.

Are you thinking to have an admin page for configuring the values & defaults? If so:

• Different amounts based on currency selection.
• "Donate" button text configurable (eg: "Subscribe", "Sponsor")
• Social sharing icons & links.

Coming together really nicely though, I can see why you wanted to make an alternative to Fosspay.

Maybe consider changing:

• "Elutheria Pay is a self-hosted FOSS payment system for FOSS developers" to
• "Elutheria Pay is a self-hosted, open-source and private payment system for projects, services and fundraising."

+1 to everything @marcusquinn said

@marcusquinn I’ll look into these. So I was trying to make configuration as simple as possible while trying to not need a DB at all. So the things you want configured can be configured in the .end file. Same with the description, but I do agree that is better as a default.

I guess I’m wondering if you guys think it would benefit from using an admin page + db for config instead of a .env file for config

[marcusquinn]

@atrilahiji Same reason for every admin setting UI, broader reach.

[A Former User]

@marcusquinn fair enough. I certainly could try to add support for this

Put it on my board as the next item I will be working on. Using Mongo because I love collection/document style DBs.

Boy oh boy is this a long process. I mean my previous approach was definitely quicker but this will hopefully be more robust. Building out my own login system. I've never implemented auth myself so this will be fun.

I'll definitely need some help testing it once I get the next release out.
