Hi,

Is it possible to put a 'donate' button on the top corner of the application? Like here:

The dev team might have thought about it already. It's worth exploring, I guess.

Thanks.

Kind regards,

Kelvene Requiroso

Hi y'all,

Yes, and we suspect (and have done some research) that a big chunk of those donations-while-downloading are from users who've been using LibreOffice for
a while, and are downloading an update. (After all, someone trying
LibreOffice for the very first time is unlikely to donate, before knowing if
they want to continue using it.)
As a heads-up, Windows users will likely be getting fully automatic
updates, starting with the 24.8 / summer version of LibreOffice [1 [1]].

The auto-updater mechanism includes an optional custom url, which
LibreOffice will then open on restart after the upgrade. Perhaps worth
pondering how to make use of that for good effect, given the above?

Note that we assume that a lot of in particular Windows users are
running older LibreOffice versions, with some reticence to
update. Making the upgrade automatic, and showing a custom donation
page, might therefore already show a measurable effect.
