Hey guys,

I am sitting here, very bored, and wondering...How did you guys hear about DonationCoder.com?

Is there anything in particular that drew you to the site?  Perhaps the opportunity of getting a full Serial Key for some of mousers software?  Maybe it was the wide range of discussion available here.

I honestly want to know!

Also, if we have any Lurkersw who would be willing to register and let us know why you choose not to be a member here, that would be fun too! (I realise that if your registered, you would no longer be a lurkerw...but oh well! - Register, Reply, then delete your account if you really want to!!!) :D

Is there anything that would make your experience here at DonationCoder.com more fun?

Any comments you guys have, would be brilliant to hear!!!

  Is it actually possible to make it more fun than it is now?   ;)

This seems an appropriate place for my first post. To give the basics as suggested elsewhere. . . professional, live in Arizona, not very computer savvy, write for a living, like free stuff but recognize that someone else spent money to make it. I searched for months off and on for a suitable and uncomplicated project timer to use for work, finally went through many posts at sites like portablefreeware, and ended up here. My thought was to post a request but decided to try the forum's search function, which led me off-site to a couple different timers I'm trying now, one of which looks promising. But I donated anyway because I believe in what is going on here. And the forums are a good read so I keep coming back.

Hello and Welcome!

Lets get off to a good start, by me mentioning that you should certainly not be scared of requesting something to do EXACTLY what you need.

Clicking This Link will start a new message in the "Request a new 'Coding Snack' section :)

What is a Coding Snack?As defined by DonationCoder, a Coding Snack is a small utility that would be quick and simple, for someone with relevant knowledge, to sink their teeth into, and make specially for the person who needs it, with no care if it gets any more than 1 download.  Software authors here NEVER demand payment for coding snacks, but donations are most certainly appreciated.

 :)

Hello,

I am currently programming a POS, ecommerce and general business management software for Windows (2.5 years of work, almost ready) and wondered for a little while about donations as a way to finance my program. So I searched about donation software sites and eventually stumbled on this site. But I have since changed my mind and will sell the software instead of asking for donations as the kind of software that I'm working on will not reach the sufficient number of people to offer it as a donation software.

When I was wondering about donation for my software I was also thinking about selling "hours" of work. For example, instead of asking for donations I would ask people to buy me time to work on the software. I could charge let's say $20 per hour and people would have bought as many hours as they would like (from $5 for 15 minutes to full hours, I find donations below $5 a little ridiculous). I thought that it would be a good idea to help donaters realize how much work they are actually buying. I would possibly have made a chart of the hours of work bought per month.

So what am I doing here since I won't be asking for donations? When want to relax I read web sites and this forum still has interesting topics that are of interest to me (mainly General Software Discussion, Living Room and Developer's Corner).

So that's about it.

Ben
