The Tip Jar

Buy me a cup of tokens.

Coffee keeps the author awake. Tokens are what the author actually spends writing this software. Send some if you want to; the software is identical either way.

Buy Me A Cup Of Tokens — entirely optional

Everything here is free and stays free. There is no paid tier hiding behind this page, no feature waiting to be unlocked and no nag screen in the software. If something here saved you an afternoon and you would like to put a coin in the jar, this is the jar.

“A cup of coffee is about a hundred thousand tokens. Both wear off by the afternoon.” — management

Suggested amounts
A cup of tokens Roughly the price of a coffee. Buys about an evening of the model arguing with the author about Vulkan shaders.
A pot of tokens A decent weekend of work on whatever is next.
Nothing at all Completely fine, and by far the most common choice. The software is the same software.
What this is not
  • ×Not a subscription. There is nothing recurring here. One transfer, no renewal, nothing stored to charge again.
  • ×Not a purchase. You are not buying a licence, a feature, a support contract or a seat. You already have all of it, for free.
  • ×Not a relationship. Tipping does not put you at the front of any queue, because there is no queue.
  • ×Not an investment. There is no token, no coin, no presale and no equity. It is a tip jar.
  • It is just a thank-you. Received with genuine appreciation, and spent on the next thing.
☞ Prefer to give something other than money? A good bug report with steps to reproduce is worth more than a coffee, and a patch is worth more than both. The repositories are here.
