I love the idea, it's fucking brilliant. I wish you a good luck.

How did you come up with this idea?

Thanks! Appreciate the kind words.

It was just a passing thought that it would be fun to be able to send money through replies on Twitter, then realised cross-platform with anything that has a mention system haha no big thought process.

Senders, or 'Supporters' can attach a card, or wallet (apple/google) within a minute and it deducts from that. No lock-in, and no charges until you decide to tip.

Thanks for the question!

So, a sender has to input CC every time he wants to tip somebody?

Nope! They put it in once, and they can tip all creators with an account with Tippy.

Do you have a demo video on how it works?

Not yet, but that is definitely on the way!

How do you trigger deducting money from the sender's account?
