Comment on Show HN: ztext.js – JavaScript library that makes any font 3D

Comments

Thank you. I don't need it but I donated because I think it's very well presented. Love the idea of a single, focused, tightly documented lib that does its one thing well and avoids scope creep.

I appreciated your putting the suggested tip amount right up front. Are you finding that to be as effective as you hoped? Have you tried other more/less in-you-face techniques?

Thanks Tom! I just released thing all yesterday so you're the first person to donate. I was originally going to do some sort of licensing like Flickity (https://flickity.metafizzy.co/) but it seemed like too much work and I'd be totally lost in all the legalese.

The other option would be to put a single ad on the site like I have with other side projects I've made but I thought I'd try a donate button instead. I hope it's not too in your face, it's really targeted toward anyone using ztext in a commercial site or maybe if they're using it in a website for a client. Personal use or just playing around with the library it's not requested to tip anything.

Congratulations on the release, and it is definitely not too in your face as I may have implied. I am a strong believer in paying for good stuff and I don’t care if people complain about your approach. They aren’t the creators.

I really liked the way you have put up the donation button right up front. Nice and it immediately offers people the option of donating.
