Interesting project ;) I would love to see, that Michael can work fulltime on thirty bees.

[dynambee]

Was hoping you guys would set up a Patreon page!

Contributed and expect to increase the amount in the future.

[lesley]

Awesome, thanks!

[Tomik]

Nice :) this is what i was waiting on. i'd rather do this then the donation

[Traumflug]

Great idea, much better than this Bitcoin mining thing!

Where should we put a link to this Patreon page in Backoffice? Sending an Email on every thousandth product sold? Only for non-Patrons, of course.

[wakabayashi]

@mdekker you are welcome. I will surely join the patreon too.

[vincentdenkspel]

@mdekker no problem i also joined patreon with a monthly payment.

Along the lines of ways to support Thirty Bees, how about some goods to buy? I'd buy one of those yellow mugs with the logo on it shown in the 1.0.2 default store!

There are services like vistaprint and cafepress take care of everything so no inventory is needed, and they greatly simplify the design process. Of course they take a cut but even the Guns'n'Roses t-shirt & mug I ordered earlier this year came from such a company. (Went to their concert in Osaka but all t-shirts were small or medium... Daughter got to meet Slash though!)

[lesley]

I actually looked for a place that could make and dropship the yellow ones, I quite liked them too. But I did not see anywhere that carried mugs in yellow. Everything I saw was either white or black.

[dynambee]

Vistaprint has some yellow mugs. :)

[dynambee]

I like this one, not that it's my decision.

[lesley]

I was looking more at Cafe Press since they do on demand. VistaPrint we would have to buy 144 at a time and handle the shipping and everything.

[dynambee]

Oh wow, I didn't realize that. I thought it was the same sort of business model. The yellow one seems to be out of stock anyway. :(

If I happen across any other companies that offer Cafe Press style shipping but with more color variety I'll be sure to let you know.

[lesley]

Sure thing, that would be great. I looked around at a few, but could not find any.

[wakabayashi]

We are just 8 people at the moment. I hope you guys join us :) it's very important for the near future of thirty bees!

[Briljander]

I'm not using TB yet but I like this idea and do hang around here a lot so I am now a Patreon too.

[lesley]

I just saw the notification and thought I better get to work on the BACKERS.md file. I am going to get that up tonight. Thanks for the donation and thanks @wakabayashi as well, I just got your notification too.

[wakabayashi]

It's now over 100$ a month. The first step is done, but we are still far away from the main goal :) Keep going ;)

I don't know who I address this to, or if there is a better/official way of doing it, but I want to change my info in supporters.md to Bayou Witch Incense, not my name. Thanks :)

[lesley]

I just changed it in both files. There really isn't an official place to report it, just somewhere that wee see it and we can do it.

[SLiCK_303]

thanks!

How about including a link to the Patreon page in the back office? Maybe over in the "Useful Links" area?

People can't contribute if they don't know the page exists and I suspect there are far fewer of us here in the forums than have installed and are actively using (and benefiting from!) thirty bees.

Also, I see you added an "Awesome Backer" level a little while ago but there are no reward benefits listed for the level.

[lesley]

Oh, you are right. I fixed it now.

I am going to add somethings to the next release version, that is a good idea with the useful links. I was thinking about the footer as well, down by the github and everything. Something on the install screen too.
