I've been interested in Patreon for a while. Do you think there is a space on it for people running websites? I've only ever seen it used by webcomic artists.
Patreon is mostly good if you're doing A/V production, to offset the time/opportunity cost involved.
In the context of HN, I do not think Patreon would be a good fit for programming. Mostly because programmers who have sufficient skill enough to receive a following probably make enough money in their day jobs such that the money earned in a Patreon would be a drop in the bucket. :P
Many websites have been funded through Kickstarter, though.
