Eleutheria Pay - Open source donation platform

@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.
-
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
-
@marcusquinn Cool, thanks for the suggestions! Yeah the name is the part I am most unsure about rn. And the logo is basic but honestly I care less about the logo and more about the name and usability.
Working at a v2 I want to clean some more things up, write a golang backend, and build it with my CI to make it extremely easy to deploy. JS is cool and all but something about having 3 package.json files floating around in a single project makes me want to puke in my mouth a bit.
-
@atrilahiji Haha, Puke Pay?
-
@marcusquinn An accurate name until I get node out of there. Ideally I want a pre-built frontend + backend executable. Keeping it simple. Right now I have scripts building the frontend and backend node bundles...
Don't get me wrong, Node has its place. But this just seems like too much lol
-
-
@girish oh wow I’ll check that out! For now it’s definitely node based but I can also just update the package then. Not like the backend is super complex anyways.
Idk you think it’s worth waiting?

Man golang is fun. Had some frustrations with module management. Maybe I should look at plain ol C or Rust for good ol downloading and relative linking of dependencies but otherwise golang is fun. That being said I found what you were talking about @girish and I’ve it all in one binary. Only thing now is I need to expose the CSS config in the .env file. Makes it easier so releases are just a .env and an executable. Simple and elegant.
-
@atrilahiji yeah, I always use GVM to manage diff go versions and modules.
-
@robi Oh wow thanks!
That helps quite a bit! I find the whole central location for modules frustrating. I guess I'm used to just dropping a library or some code I wrote into the same directory as my main app and linking to it via its relative path.
I don't want to change langs again but now part of me is curious about just writing a C server lol. A fun challenge but not for this particular project
-
-
@atrilahiji Finished EL for now (as in I believe it is ready for use). And the package merges the configs. Its a single .env and binary now
Thanks for that suggestion @girish !
-
@girish one quick update before I think it’s ready (had to re-enable asset customization)
Yeah thankfully the backend for EleutheriaPay is very simple so rewriting it in go was pretty quick. I did have to pull out an assets folder from the executable so it can be customized. But it still means the frontend build is already done when it is downloaded.
I’ll link it here in a moment
-
@atrilahiji if it can be a separate repo like other app packages, that will be great! You can put it in git.cloudron.io
-
@girish Its been over here: https://git.cloudron.io/AtriLahiji/eleutheriapay-app
I just updated it and fixed asset linking. Should be ready now. I've lost count of the number of times I've said it should be ready but my ADD brain does seem to miss things I need to fix. This time for real though.
