Eleutheria Pay - Open source donation platform

[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.

@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

[atrilahiji]

@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.

[atrilahiji]

@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.

[atrilahiji]

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.

[atrilahiji]

Update again:

I have login working. I might ask others who are more experienced with writing auth to audit it if that’s ok. I also have a site up now but was too cheap to get my own domain for it so here it is: https://eleutheriapay.atrilahiji.dev/

Please let me know via dm or a reply to this post if you want to try out the new version when it’s ready and maybe even audit the code. I would be really grateful.

@atrilahiji Nicely done!

You made me search for "free domains" and these look interesting:

• http://www.dot.tk
• http://www.freenom.com

Another update:

I have pushed a seemingly working login system to my dev branch here if anyone is feeling adventurous enough to pull it and test it out:
https://git.lahijiapps.dev/atrilahiji/eleutheriapay/-/tree/dev

I am working on a few features to play off of this here:

But as of now login and config updates now work and it makes use of MongoDB.

I'm really having fun with this one. If anyone has some more ideas (keep in mind im just going to have to queue them because this does take time) definitely let me know. And if anyone wants to contribute also let me know and I can set you up.

@atrilahiji just out of interest, what board are you using there?

[marcusquinn]

@jdaviescoates Looks like GitLab Issues Boards to me.

[jdaviescoates]

@marcusquinn you are correct

[marcusquinn]

@jdaviescoates I live in GitLab issues for work
