I made another thing 🤪
I call it Auxpack: patron subscription packs, for groups of independent artists.
Instead of (or addition to) having your own #patreon, , #bandcamp or whatever subscription offering, band together with artists in your community to form packs that fans can subscribe to. They pay once (meaning one processing fee), and the rest is divvied up amongst the artists in the group.
In closed beta. Check it out at https://auxpack.club

Why did I build this? Because I can. But also hear me out: Lots of creators have Patreons, a Ko-fi membership, or something. But often those come with stakes, since processing fees make it impossible to offer a really low membership price. So you end up charging $5-10/month as a single artist, effectively *requiring* you to offer more than you might be able to produce. Hard for artists, subscription fatigue for fans. But some patrons do *want* to support artists. We should make it easier.

Awesome! The more ways artists have to sell their work directly, the better. @kidlightbulbs
