Oh nice. Pull request gets rid of $.25. Read my mind. |

Blank space for custom gift is a great idea. Sent from my HAL 9000, Dave.

Prob with open field is then newcomers don't know what to think. People need a prompt. We talked about this in an old ticket, could dig it up ... |
|
How about something like this? |
|
That's cool but it could still use a manula entry field. Maybe if placed Damien Michael Nichols Sent from my HAL 9000, Dave.

I've changed my mind about this after discussing and hearing what other people think. The thing about $100 is very few people will be able to give this sustainably, and it would feel like a huge loss to get this once/twice and then have someone pull support. |
|
I'm not really sure about it. It seems like a feature companies might want, but I can't see many individuals using. Plus it does really wind up being a problem to suddenly lose that much income ($400 on any given month is enough to pay for many people's rent, or share of the rent) |
|
@evbogue Yes, if you're pressing individuals for large gifts. For a company $100/wk is easily sustainable. |
|
Please don't remove $0.25, it would do a lot more harm than gain. Think of people who could be getting $0.25 from hundreds of people. It's also an most affordable way to say thank you to lots of people doing good work, without breaking the bank. $1 as the minimum IMO also sets the bar for entry too high for people new to the idea of Gittip. I do like the idea of a slider along with an editable text field where you can manually type in an exact amount in between the min-max range, however. |
|
Re: $100, do it! Also, I don't see any reason for anyone to give less than $1/week. |
|
I actually agree with Dimitri on the $.25 issue. Some people really don't Damien Michael Nichols Sent from my HAL 9000, Dave.

Why get rid of $0.25? And what happens to the hundreds of recurring donations set up for that amount? Nobody is going to like seeing those disappear suddenly, and nobody is going to like seeing them automatically raised to a higher amount either. |
|
Any existing tip amounts will stay as they are, regardless of what new amounts we enable. And I don't see us killing 25¢ tips. |
|
certainly keep the 25 cents in. as far as $100, I'm obviously pretty biased here so not even sure my vote should count :) (but of course, like Kenneth we're all for it). |
|
(though congress votes themselves pay raises, right? I TOTALLY GET IT) |
|
Okay, I've thought about it more. I'm giving this a +1 (I mean, really, paying people's rent is something that Gittip wants to be about, right?) |
|
Merged symbolically. Going to clean up the implementation now ... |
I'm going to change from buttons to a select dropdown for tip amounts, with these options.
Still need to wire up in javascript
I largely de-duplicated the tip UI amongst /on/elsewhere, participants on Gittip, and the Giving page under the profile. The group tips for GitHub orgs ~= Bitbucket teams is still WET.

Deployed. Thanks to @matin for stirring the pot and to everyone who participated in the discussion here and on IRC and Twitter. Here's hoping this unlocks more growth for Gittip and open-source! :D |

@whit537 Are you watching which of these tip levels are used? If there is a pretty even distribution, it's clearly worth keeping all of the existing levels. But if you see spikes in usage at, say 1-10, 20, 50, 100, is there some thought to clean up the drop-down to a smaller set of tip amounts? I like the move to $100 max. But the buttons were a nicer interface than the drop down, in that you could see the range of tip amounts without having to click on anything. |
I would prefer if there was a free text field that any amount could be entered in, but this is the fastest way to make the change.
