Eleutheria Pay - Open source donation platform

[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.

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

Reviving this as I have come back to the project after losing motivation for a bit. I really did just want to keep this as a simple donation page that can be easily customized for those who don't want to build out their own. With that in mind, I removed monthly and annual payments from my current version. I still have a branch working on auth and a more complex system but I'll be thinking about how to best move forward with that in the future.

@staff I have a few changes I would like to make still before I have an initial version but I think it would be cool to have this app on the store if you think it makes sense. Of course, it is up to you guys

EDIT: To further explain, I got carried away in suggestions and making them all happen and forgot why I made it in the first place. Not that I don't appreciate feedback of course

@atrilahiji said in Eleutheria Pay - Open source donation platform:

IMHO monthly payments (at least) are often a key feature people look for when creating a "simple donation page"

@jdaviescoates Normally I'd agree, but my goal here is to keep it lightweight. No DB, no user tracking, nothing. That is something that impossible to do while having recurring payments as you need to provide a way for users to cancel. The idea is tips and not patreon, basically. A branded layer over-top of stripe that also serves its own donation button you can embed anywhere.

I've kind of resolved to doing the work I need to make it fit my needs (as that was my original intent) and allowing contributions and forks from others if there is a need for that. Basically I don't want to put energy into building something I don't ever want to use.

[jdaviescoates]

@atrilahiji fair enough scratch that itch

[girish]

@atrilahiji it's not different to any other project in my mind. If it's something you will continue to work on and is useful to others, I don't see any problem having an app for it in the store.

@girish I have my 1.0.0-RC2 packaged and updated on the cloudron git with super basic tests. I'm going through testing things on my repo for EP and I'll hopefully have a full 1.0.0 release soon.

Pushed 1.0.0 finally. I think everything is good to go for a major release. Updated the package too.

[girish]

@atrilahiji w00t , congrats! BTW, did you have a landing page/home page for this? The one you linked earlier is not working anymore. Also, your git seems to have some cert errors it seems.

[A Former User]

@girish Ah lol so I moved some things over to another domain (using lahijiapps.dev for my new business) and switched to Gitea. The link is https://git.atrilahiji.dev/atrilahiji/EleutheriaPay

I had a landing page but wasn't happy with it so I was going to make a new one. Right now in the package im using the repo URL as the homepage.

[marcusquinn]

Great stuff!

Talking of the name, when I read it, I read "Uretha"

Depending on if you want to find a matching domains, naming is very personal, but here's some that sound OK to me:

• Atpay
• Button Pay
• Elpay
• Pay Button
• Paystar

I do like coming up with names - but, like I say, I'm sure very personal. I hereby give away all copyright and claims to any of those if you do like though, so feel free to screenshot and hold me to that
