Managing an online service with a good little number of users who are pretty happy with the service, I am considering adding a "Donation" button to partially cover my expenses.

Since this is some extra work to implement, and this can provide a deceptive experience, I wonder if it is worth it.

Has anyone implemented this before?

How much money / user did you receive?

Would you do it again?

How does it compares with ads revenue?

If, right after you die, you have an interview with someone omniscient, what questions would you ask?

I love JS, but reading ECMA6 specifications, I have the feeling it keeps on being late: it introduces OOP when Functional Oriented Programming is the new trend!

Reading last Hacker Newsletter, it became important for me to understand who publishes and reads on HN.

- How many daily unique visitor? (I know that ~30 000 people subscribed to the Newsletter) - What age are HN readers? HN voters? HN publishers? - Where do they come from?

Among underlying questions: - How do people have time to fetch and read content everyday? - Are those currators mostly students? - Is it possible for a non-american interest content to reach top articles (eg. in the Newsletter)? By that I mean making a linear regression on the localization of the voters.

Please prove me wrong on those!

Or maybe it is only christmas break that made it a student-ish edition...
