Liberapay

Liberapay is a recurring donation platform designed to fund creators and open-source projects. It is a non-profit organization based in France. Liberapay aims to provide a sustainable and transparent way for creators to receive financial support directly from their audience.

The platform operates on a weekly donation cycle, with donors pledging a certain amount per week to support specific projects or individuals. Unlike some crowdfunding platforms, Liberapay focuses on continuous, smaller donations rather than one-time large contributions.

Liberapay emphasizes transparency and open-source principles. The platform's code is publicly available, and information about donations and payouts is generally accessible. This commitment to transparency aims to build trust between creators, donors, and the platform itself.

A key feature of Liberapay is its anti-censorship stance. It strives to avoid imposing restrictions on the types of projects or creators that can use the platform, as long as they comply with legal requirements. This principle reflects a commitment to free expression and a neutral approach to content.

Liberapay is often used by software developers, writers, artists, and other creators who rely on community support to sustain their work. It provides an alternative to more centralized and potentially restrictive funding models.
