Fwiw, I used Flattr a couple years ago and personally found it rather tedious. But to each their own.

Which side did you use? Were you doing the donating (Flattr-ing) or receiving the donations?
From this: https://flattr.com/catalog/software, I see that GIMP has a
Flattr account. I wonder if anyone knows (or can ask) what their experience is?
I actually don't know if there are any fees for doing this, but I'll try to read and learn more about it. What I'm not sure about yet, is where do the donations go? The Inkscape Fund?
Or should this be used more for specific projects, like funded development? Maybe like setting aside the donations for programming native animation, for example?
I'll try and learn more about it. Although I'm probably not the best person to manage the account(s)?
Anyway, thanks for your comments :-)

We should use any and all non-competing methods. If I could get us a Patreon account, I think we'd do that too.
Other people's thoughts?
Sure, if someone's willing to set up these accounts, it can't hurt, right? A lot of them are going to be just nickels and dimes, and some may have largish fees, but these are concerns for the donors.

Hi Friends, A recent message from a happy Inkscape user on IF (http://www.inkscapeforum.com/viewtopic.php?f=30&t=18639) wonders if Inkscape should have a Flattr account? Although this is the first I've heard of Flattr, and I'm not sure if Inkscape's license, mission, etc. will permit; I'm curious myself. I thought it would be worth asking about :-) Should or could Inkscape use this kind of fundraising? (Flattr: https://flattr.com/)
Thanks, brynn
