Skwire Empire

Skwire Empire is a giant collection of programs written by DC member Skwire.

You'll find everything from small utilities coded in requests to posts on the Coding Snacks section of the DonationCoder forum, to full blown applications like the awesome mp3 player, Trout.

One of the most prolific coders on the DonationCoder website, skwire never misses a NANY event, and rarely passes up the opportunity to fulfil a Coding Snack request.

Number of programs available: 70+

We occasionally write articles on the site:

When Do Users Donate (2006)
An in-depth early article discussing the first year of DonationCoder, and reviewing our use of micro-donations; we were one of the first sites to try it and one of the few remaining sites employing such a model.
DonationCoder Infrastructure Remodel (2018)
An article discussing some major changes to our website and server infrastructure in 2018 (and the years leading up to it). Goes into the content management systems we chose and server hosting choices, etc.
