Just saw the new cowtool donation link and made sure to give back to a tool I love so much. Just a thought, would it make sense to add what the monetary value would correspond to?
Ex:
"$2 can help cowtool run for 3 hours
...
$100 can help cowtool run for X Days"
I work on AWS so I can guess what, say $5, would help in uptime. But the general public don't know if it's $0.069 a minute or $10k a month.

It's more that it's so variable based on usage. In an ideal world, I could reopen it up to everyone. And then costs would skyrocket.
I will say that I'm very humbled by everyone's generosity. This tool is the majority of cowtool's costs, but it's not the vast majority.
I don't want to say it's $1/day and then have usage explode. But there are also non-AWS costs.
Regardless, I expect nothing, but I'm appreciative for everything that reduces (or eliminates) the monthly transfer from my personal to business checking account.

Uh hmm I'll see if I can turn on a setting in Stripe for that. Guess I should have tested it myself, but I've put in enough money that I don't want to have to pay a processing fee just to transfer money from canadiancow to cowtool 😂
