About Me

I'm 26y old Front-end Engineer with Master Degree but I can do anything related with technology. 🚀 I can make MVP in days, 🧙‍♀️ Magic with NodeJS, 🤖 Automate the boring stuffs, 👨‍💻 Hack the third party APIs for any use case, and I always get a solution of the problem. I'm foodie & love to cook 🍳.

Why i built this

In my country, there are lots of developers who build awesome things and people use them for free. So, people love to support those developers.

But in India to get the money you have to hustle and you have to get an Import Export certificate from the government.

So, I was looking for a payment gateway that solved this problem. Just integrate and get money directly in your account without any problem.

I found gumroad is the best and easy way to collect people to support the "Buy Me Coffee" way.

What Technology I'm using

I'm using nextjs for front-end and nextjs API route for gumroad API proxy to get your supporters message and display on the page.

I'm publishing this page on https://vercel.com/ service for free and You can also setup your custom domain for free.

gumroad-coffee-template's Issues

Cannot deploy using instructions - Vercel 404 Error

I followed the instructions pretty much exactly as they appeared in the README.md and have the following error after using Vercel to import and deploy the project

404: NOT_FOUND
Code: DEPLOYMENT_NOT_FOUND
ID: gnxr8-1593720602280-c346cfa77cfc:bru1::j4sls-1593720602331-

Further comments:

• The Gumroad access token creation requires a redirect URL. Nothing is in the documentation about this so I just set my own website

The README does not have any details on How to setup the env Varible

Fixed in #2

Update README for better tutorial setup.
