- lists all the projects you depend on that support donations
- shows you how much (or rather little!) they're making now
- shows you the (Patreon) rewards you can get for supporting them
- allows you to support them right there and then!
I honestly think this is a legitimate idea and kind of want to pitch it to Y Combinator right now. It would be like something that ties Patreon and Github together.

Chicken v Egg! Haha, did not think of that :D Actually I think a Kickstarter would be more appropriate for this, but even then it seems unlikely to get any funding. I think going straight to a VC would be my best bet.
I don't think so? The product is too simple to get destroyed from money pressure and bloat. All it needs to do to make it worth their while is skim a little off the top, maybe 1%.
Very similar, but a product like this has to remove absolutely every point of friction it can, and make it as close to 1-click as possible. This is a command line utility that gives you links, which is a great start. We can make it even simpler!
