Pick a tier that works for you. Platform and payment processing fees happen up front, transparently. After that, every penny goes to the people you support. No hidden fees. No extra charges.
slowclap's design philosophy is bullshit up front. If you agree that $5 a month is worth it to support indie creators everywhere, you've already done the hard part.
Because fees only happen once, even if you're supporting only one person on the lowest cost tier, that's basically the same deal you'd get anywhere else. In every other scenario, there's no competition.
If you have leftover applause at the end of the month, it's automatically sent to people you've supported in the past. If you subscribe to support one person, applaud them once, and forget slowclap exists, they'll get all your support until you cancel. Your subscription is never wasted and it's never going to people you didn't choose to support.
slowclap is passkey first. You don't even need to come up with a password. Just enter your email. Subscription tiers only impact how much applause you have to give.
If you're a creator, join some communities, add links to where you share stuff, then take your slowclap link and share it wherever you're making stuff. Done? Great. Now get back to doing what you love. You can set up Stripe connect anytime within the first year.
It's honestly that easy. In a world where everyone else is competing for your undivided attention, slowclap is actively trying to stay out of your way.
Support can come from anywhere. Share a link in your posts. Put it on your blog, in your Mastodon bio, in your video descriptions. Heck, put it on a business card. It's just a link. The same tech that's been behind sharing stuff online since there was stuff to share. Low tech. On purpose.
slowclap lets people support you where you already are, for making the stuff you're already making. It turns your audience building work into financially supportive work. It can sit alongside other patronage platforms, or it can replace them entirely. The bulk of your audience will likely never become a dedicated subscriber, but with slowclap, that doesn't mean they can't give you support.
Most sites take every piece of data they can and sell it to the highest bidder. With slowclap, your data isn't sold, and outside of what's required, isn't even captured.
In a world filled with increased surveillance and eroding human rights, here anonymity is the default setting.
And pseudonymity is the only setting. When you sign up, you get a unique name. I'm friendly-corncob. They're fun, memorable, and only as associated with you as you want them to be. Your email is only used for payment reminders and account security.
slowclap is built by me. I'm a solo indie dev and writer and my goal is to build the best platform for creators and the people that support them.
To me, that means building a platform that respects users data, respects their time, and respects their autonomy.
The internet works best when it's decentralized, when every person can own a tiny corner and create freely within it. I'm trying to help more people build something that a megacorp can't demonetize or algorithmically make irrelevant on a whim. If that's worth slower updates and a less flashy website to you too, I hope you'll consider joining.
