It's disturbing that the landing page does not mention at all what charity procedes go to. You need to go to the very bottom of the About page to finally find it's for http://www.unhcr.org

The donation is also done in a sketchy way. Also near the bottom of the About page:

> How does this charity thing work?

> So far I'm using a solution that means I get payments sent to me to my Paypal and I personally make the donations to charities. I've chosen this way because it's easy.

In other words, you're paypal'ing money to a stranger and hope that the money makes it's way to charity

To the author's defense, he does have a "Are you to be trusted?" section that acknowledges this. The idea of a pay-what-you-like-for-charity-on-my-side-project idea is neat, but you need some degree of credibility or third-party to make it work. The next side project should be integrating against something that guarantees the promise of the donations.
